The Internet exploded on Saturday evening with news that the 40 year old star from The Fast and the Furious, Paul Walker, was killed in a fatal car accident.
Walker was leaving a charity car show in Santa Clarita, California to raise money for the Philippines typhoon relief when the driver of the car lost control of the vehicle and hit either a post or a tree causing the car to burst into flames. Walker and the driver, whose identity has not yet been released, were both killed in the crash.
