Video of the crash as he was stunting for the camera and killed himself and his passenger in the process.

There is video of the accident floating around. I recommend against going looking for it...

None of the reporting even specifies who was driving.

There are videos.

He was driving recklessly.

Sometimes it is (4) their owners let a friend drive the car and the friend is not remotely equipped to handle the car at the speeds involved.

Not saying that's what happened here (I haven't seen any reporting on who was driving vs who was the passenger) but it is at least part of the reason Paul Walker is dead.

Of course, the owners themselves even if they are skilled drivers, shouldn't be driving outside of legal limits on public roads.

If you have an exotic sports car worth half a million dollars and you want to go crazy with it then rent a track, you can afford it.

Yep. I started looking into sports cars recently, and the general consensus among enthusiasts seems to be that for public roads, if you're not going to drive at reckless speeds then you'll have more fun driving a slow car fast than driving a fast car slow. Fun handling with modest horsepower is the way to go, you can have a great time without exceeding normal road speeds.

The fact that you can’t tell the difference between a driver and a passengers responsibility is shocking to me.

The news report linked in the article has this to say:

> The driver, Zampella, was trapped in the ensuing car fire, the CHP said. He died at the scene and the passenger died at a hospital, authorities told NBC4 Investigates. Details about the passenger's identity were not immediately available.

> The single-car crash was reported at about 12:45 p.m. on the scenic road north of Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Mountains. The southbound Ferrari veered off the road just after exiting a tunnel, hit a concrete barrier and a passenger was ejected, the California Highway Patrol said.

It is pretty obvious the cause, they are just doing their investigation. There is a video of it out there. I will describe it for sensitive people who might not want to actually see it. The car was going probably 100 mph out of a tunnel and understeered into a jersey barrier. The passenger was ejected still in the seat and the car caught fire a few seconds after impact. Bystanders managed to pull the passenger away from the wreck, then the video cut off.

Did you see the speed he was going on a public road? LA drivers are tired of these assholes driving recklessly. It’s gotten incredibly dangerous to drive especially at night after COVID.
