Yeah can't believe it. Really sad.

Strange that seeing him in a few films and other videos, and reading a couple of articles makes one feel like I 'know' him but that's the effect of modern media I guess. I certainly shared his passion for fast cars as many of us do, and especially his love of GTR's. To see a Carrera GT broken up like that a very sudden stop must have been involved (either collision or high speed into something solid) as the tub looks to have split in two behind the driver's cell.

A real shame.

Only just seen this there is a video floating about on the internet passers by filmed the burning car before any help arrived...
Truely sad to see someone in their prime killed in such a terrible way.
RIP

Sad news and i understand he had a passenger that also died in the crash.

Initial reports are that he was the passenger (shockingly similar to the recent death of Sean Edwards and his friend)

In his last interview he was asked if he would be starring in F&F 8 to which he quite prophetically replied "I don't know if I'll be there, bro"
