Actually the guy that was driving the car has been mentioned quite a bit. I posted it a page back I think.

Roger Rodas, a former race car driver. They were friends and business partners.

Whingeing about this is a bit like getting bent out of shape about someone being sad that a friend of a friend died but not caring about the total stranger who died at the same time

It's been so ****ing annoying these past few days on here when we are getting sniped at constantly for showing any compassion at all in any of these tragic threads.

If people don't care about the news that we are discussing or the people that have passed away that are being posted about then they can just piss off out the thread tbh.

Since the guy was a race car driver I wonder if he was being careless on the road. I read somewhere that they're questioning whether they were trying out tricks or something.

I agree.. If any member feels it's wrong for the rest of is to feel sadness over these tragedies, they should shut their faces out of respect if nothing else.

nobody's saying his life is more valuable it's just common ****ing sense that more people are going to pay tribute to famous people who die above normal people who die

jesus christ how do you people function in the real world? do you get stumped by microwave instructions? do you have to hold onto the rails on an elevator? do you worry about chunky soup choking you?

[Amy Jade]

I almost cried this morning when I saw he had passed away, when I was about 12 I was a huge fan of his and I remember asking for loads of films with him in for Christmas and I thought he was perfect. The all American boy next door. I loved his movie JoyRide so much.

R.I.P Paul - I feel so sorry for his family and friends

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

He's not being dismissed. It seems to me reasonable that out of respect for the driver, they took time to find out a bit about him before talking about him. Paul we already knew about so makes sense there's more about him. Now stop looking for things to argue about and just ****ing let people be sad.

Have you read the Rodas article? Since you seemed so worried he's being dismissed I thought you might have actually been interested in that article about him.

There has to be more to be disclosed about that accident, the guy was a very experienced driver. The tree he hit appears to be on a central, raised, reservation. The apparent force that the car hit the tree with seems way out of line with the speed restrictions that are in force in America. No doubt more will be appearing in the next days.

Roger's 8 year old son tried to save his dad, while Paul's best friend tried to save paul

Paul Walker dead: Roger Rodas' EIGHT-YEAR-OLD son bravely battled to save his dad from fireball wreck
1 Dec 2013 17:06
Actor and former racing driver friend killed instantly after Porsche Carrera GT smashes into tree and bursts into flames

The eight-year-old son of Roger Rodas bravely tried to save his dad as flames engulfed the supercar following the crash which killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker.

The boy jumped a fence and ran over to the burning car in a desperate bid to free his trapped father.

Witness Jim Torp told the NY Daily News: "I ran over afterwards, I was trying to find Roger’s son.

"I found out his son had jumped the fence and gone over, he was trying to get his dad out.

"Paul Walker’s best friend was trying to get Paul out of the car while it was still on fire ... he was trying to save his friend ... there was nothing he could do."

Roger met actor Paul when they raced cars together at various events, and Rodas later became Paul's business partner and financial adviser in 2007.



Rodas, 38, was the CEO of Always Evolving, a car customisation shop, where Saturday's charity event was being held.

Paul leaves behind his 15-year-old daughter Meadow, and former pro racer Rodas leaves behind his wife and two children.

Tragic actor Paul was pictured just hours before his fatal final journey - alongside the car he died in.


The eerie photo shows the late 40-year-old alongside his friend's bright red Porsche GT just hours before his death.

Walker was in the passenger seat of a friend's red Porsche GT on his way to a charity event when the driver lost control.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's department confirmed when officers arrived at the scene, they found the vehicle had gone up in flames and two people were pronounced dead.

Roger was the CEO of Always Evolving, a car customisation shop, where Saturday's charity event was being held.

What doesn't make a lot of sense is that Rodas' son and Paul Walker's friend were at the exact spot where the accident occurred.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Paul Walker's body was burned so badly the coroner needs his dental records to identify the body ... TMZ has learned. A rep for the L.A. County Coroner tells us ... the bodies of Paul and his friend/business partner Roger Rodas are currently unidentifiable and their autopsies will be delayed until later this week. We're told the coroner is waiting on both sets of dental records before proceeding. Rodas -- who was driving the Porsche yesterday -- was friends with Walker for nearly a decade ... and Roger has been credited with helping Paul start his race shop. The two also joined forces to create the "Reach Out World Wide" Foundation to help disaster relief in other countries -- and as we first reported ... the group was behind yesterday's fundraiser for typhoon relief in Santa Clarita. Paul's rep says Roger and Paul were leaving the event when they wrecked. Rodas was 38 years

so sad

Nobody at all has said anything like that lee to be fair.
This, the derailed train and the helicopter crash were hideous accidents. Nobody has or would snipe about the tragic nature of this or say it's wrong to feel sadness, to suggest otherwise is really unfair.
Reading about the efforts made to save them was really upsetting.

[Ammi]

..it still feels so unreal that it actually happened...just so very sad when someone so young and talented dies.....
