Contrary to initial findings of investigators, made early 2014, according to which "the fatal crash was directly related to a deemed excessive speed", new documents released by lawyers for the daughter of actor, Meadow, conclude that a different hypothesis . Thus, "the car was traveling between 100 and 115 km/h before the accident," and not in the vicinity of 160 km/h as had been reported by investigators.
Moreover, the star of the saga "Fast and Furious" have had several ribs broken because of the safety belt but have survived the accident.
It's the explosion and fire of the Porsche that would have cost him his life. Paul Walker would indeed stuck 1 minute and 20 seconds after the shock in the vehicle and would have burned alive according to TMZ. The report submitted to the court by the daughter of Paul Walker therefore emphasizes the shortcomings of the car and include safety belts deemed "defective".
Meadow Walker's lawyers have also raised a number of technical failures in the Porsche Carrera GT. According to them, the vehicle wasn't equipped with the stabilization system Porshe Stability Management (PSM), which prevents swerving. The car would then be out of control with speed. In May 2014, the widow of Roger Rodas had already filed a first complaint against the automaker. She said the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT had no effective collision protection or tank safety device. The complaint argues that adequate safety equipment could have saved the life of the actor of "Fast and Furious" and his friend.
