The results of an investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and California Highway Patrol was released in March and concluded that it was unsafe speed and not mechanical problems that caused the crash. That investigation was aided by engineers from Porsche, who evaluated the wreckage of the rare car.
The differing opinions on the crash will likely be a part of any trial over the lawsuit, which could take years to resolve.
Roger Rodas was trained as a race car driver, according to his wife’s lawsuit. He left behind two young children upon his death.
Walker, the star of the “Fast & Furious” film franchise, co-owned an auto racing team with Rodas named Always Evolving.
Walker’s death occurred on a break in the filming of “Fast & Furious 7,” and the actor’s two brothers are helping complete action scenes in the film. The film’s release has been delayed until April 2015.
