Paul Walker May Have Died Due To Car Malfunction
The latest reports are suggesting that Paul Walker may have died in a tragic car crash due to an automobile malfunction.
TMZ reports that a steering fluid leak may have caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle.The exotic sports car in which Paul Walker violently died, crashed as a result of mechanical failure -- very possibly a steering fluid leak ... this according to sources closely tied to the auto shop where the vehicle was stored and maintained.Sources connected to Always Evolving -- the shop co-owned by Walker and the Porsche driver Roger Rodas -- tell TMZ they saw evidence of a fluid burst and subsequent fluid trail before the skid marks at the accident scene.The AE sources point to the fact there is a noticeable absence of skid marks until just before the point of impact. They say if Roger had lost control the skid marks would show swerving, but instead the marks were in a straight line. They feel this cements the theory the driver didn't have steering control.
Also suspicious -- the fire spreading so quickly in the front of the car. The sources say flames would be expected in the rear where the engine is ... but fire in the front reinforces their theory of a fluid leak of some sort.
The authorities are also investigating the possibility that speed was a factor in the crash. The driver, Roger Rodas, unfortunately may have lost control of a car that is notoriously difficult to handle.
I'm still so heartbroken over this. RIP Paul Walker.
