Actor Paul Walker Dead

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Actor Paul Walker, made famous by the Fast and Furious series of movies, was involved in a fatal car accident in Santa Clarita, California this afternoon.  He was 40 years old, and had one daughter.  No other vehicles were involved.  He was the passenger in a friend's Porsche when the driver lost control of the vehicle, and slammed it into a tree.  The car burst into flames.  Both occupants were killed instantly.  Mr. Walker was in Santa Clarita attending a car meet tied to Always Evolving Performance Motors, and a charity event for his organization, "Reach Out Worldwide."

We, here at Political Pistachio, will keep his family and friends in prayers as they navigate these difficult moments after the accident.

Walker was also in the middle of filming the seventh installment of the Fast and Furious movie series, and an action film titled "Brick Mansions" which is in post-production.
