Reply to "Paul Walker Dead"

DenisC,
It is the commercial area of Valencia, a bedroom community about 10 miles north of the San Fernando Valley. I have heard that people like to race there but that would have to be on weekends as it's too busy an area during the week.

44 years ago I had a friend in high school who was riding with his uncle and a friend (3 of them) crammed into a Corvette. The car was going approximately 125 mph, hit a dip, became airborne and hit a telephone pole that acted like a skill saw with one half of the car falling on each side of the pole. 3 dead young men were the result. That Porsche looked like the Corvette.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy going fast even on city streets, but there are reasonable limits especially when exposing other people to danger. I am going to bet that once the investigation details are released, a) the speedometer will show a ridiculous rate of speed and b) there was some driving under the influence.

I spoke to a friend who lives up in the general vicinity who happened to casually know the driver, who also lived in the area. He leaves a family, and I understand Mr. Walker also leaves a daughter. The effects of their foolishness, unfortunately, don't end with their deaths...two families are destroyed, as well, and children have lost their parents.
