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."
Walker and his friend and fellow
fast-car enthusiast Roger Rodas died Saturday when Rodas' 2005
Porsche Carrera GT smashed into a light pole and tree, then
exploded in flames. The posted limit was 45 mph.
The two had taken what was expected to be a brief drive away
from a charity fundraiser and toy drive at Rodas' custom car
shop in Valencia, about 30 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
Walker's publicist said the action star was the passenger.

The crash happened on a street that forms an approximately
1-mile loop amid industrial office parks. It is rimmed by hills
and relatively isolated from traffic, especially on weekends
when the businesses are closed.
"It's well-known out here that that's a hot spot for street
racers," California Highway Patrol Sgt. Rick Miler said.
Skid marks are a testament to past antics on the loop. The
sheriff's department, which polices the neighborhood, said
Saturday's wreck was not the first speed-related crash there,
but would not reveal specifics.
Meanwhile, investigators are consulting video from security
cameras, talking to witnesses and analyzing physical evidence
such as on-board computer data from the Porsche.
A steady stream of fans has flocked to the crash site to
leave flowers, candles and memorabilia from the action films.
On Monday night, a private memorial for survivors and the
cast and crew of the "Fast & Furious" movies was held inside a
white tent erected around the crash site. When it was over,
Walker's co-star Vin Diesel emerged to thank fans for paying
their respect to the actor.
