I didnt actually care for him after the first Fast n Furious, however in the following movies and media he proved to be a big car guy and what appeared like a cool dude. Its sad to see that it happened as he was really starting to make a name for himself.

Wow, this sucks. I really liked him, as a car guy and as an actor. I enjoyed his movies, he will be missed. Told my wife bout this news as I read it, she dang near cried. He is one of her favorite actors.

Peace and best wishes to his family and friends in this hard time.

So sad to hear... Rest in peace Paul...

This is just speculation, but judging by how far that tree appears tone inside the car, they were probally dead on impact... Damn near same thing happened to my friend on the 5. His silverado hit a pole and exploded, he was goin roughly 80 and it pushed the engine back into the cab

Hard to believe. As cheesy as these movies can be, they definitely got me more into cars than I could imagine. The first one came out when I was 14.
