Paul Walker and his friend business partner Roger Rodas were almost certainly killed instantly when their Porsche Carrera GT crashed in Santa Clarita, Calif. The car virtually exploded on impact and was instantly engulfed in flames, according to new video footage from a nearby security camera.
Although the camera view is obscured by trees, a flash of light and the resulting explosion are clearly visible.
The crash threw off a huge plume of smoke that reportedly could be seen for miles. The first car on the scene stopped almost immediately after the crash. But even by then, it was too late to help Walker or Rodas.
