Fans of “Fast & Furious” star Paul Walker who died in a fiery crash on Saturday in a Southern California suburb said they were shocked at the news as authorities said speed was a factor in the wreck.
Walker, who was a passenger, died after the crash in Valencia, Calif., Saturday afternoon. He was 40 years old. Former race car driver Roger Rodas, 38, a friend and business associate of Walker's, was the driver of the car. He also died, said Jason Dorrnick, an employee at Always Evolving, a custom race car company owned by Rodas.
He has not officially been identified.
Fans of the movie began gathering Sunday at the spot where he died, leaving candles and flowers at a makeshift memorial.
Sandra Caipo, who visited the crash scene, said she thought his death was a hoax.
“It was just unbelievable,” she said. “It’s just shocking.”
Derek Conway visited the scene to pay his respects as a fan.
"Sad to see," Conway said. "Horrible story. You feel for his family and anybody who knows him."
Deputies responded to the wreck about 3:30 p.m. in the 28300 block of Rye Canyon Loop, officials said.
A car engulfed in flames was found and extinguished by the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Authorities found two people inside the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT after the fire was put out, officials said.
