While the neighborhood where Fast & Furious star Paul Walker died in a fiery crash is known to attract street racers, law enforcement officials do not believe the Porsche he and a friend were riding in had been racing another car.
Accident investigators “have received eyewitness statements that the car involved was traveling alone at a high rate of speed,” the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement Monday. “No eyewitness has contacted the (department) to say there was a second vehicle.”

Investigators are still trying to piece together what caused the fiery crash that killed actor Paul Walker and his friend and driver Roger Rodas Saturday, but according to several reports, one theory is that the pair were drag racing with another vehicle.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said authorities were investigating tips that another car was present when Walker and Rodas's Porsche crashed into a light pole and a tree, including the possibility that a vehicle may have swerved in front of the Porsche, causing the crash. Skid marks found at the scene also indicate that a car may have been doing doughnut spins, though it's not known if those marks were left by Walker's vehicle.

West Goshen, Pennsylvania — Visitors who came in droves to the stretch of highway where Ryan Dunn's life ended said the deaths of the "Jackass" star and his passenger on Monday serve as a shocking warning that even someone as seemingly immortal as the daredevil couldn't survive the risk of drinking and driving.
"I hope a lot of kids in the community will see what happened to their role model. Maybe this sends a signal that you're not indestructible," said a West Goshen police officer, a father of two teens.
Laraine Livergood of Collegeville brought her three children to the crash site Wednesday night. "It shows what drinking and driving can do," she said.
