Apparently he was a passenger in a friend's newly purchased 2005 Porsche Carrera GT when according to witnesses the vehicle lost control while travelling at a high rate of speed in an area posted for 45mph. It then struck a light pole and tree before becoming fully engulfed.

It's a shame for his family and fans, as well as the driver's family, but it sounds like the driver was showing off in a high performance car.

First introduced as Brian Earl Spilner in the first F&F.

Dom: [checks Brian's wallet] Brian Earl Spilner. Sounds like a serial killer. Is that what you are? Don't come around here again.

Brian: Man, you know this is bull****!

Dom: You work for Harry, right?

Brian: Yeah, I just started.

Dom: You were just fired.




RIP Paul Walker
