DHAKA: Fans of ‘Fast & Furious’ star Paul Walker created a makeshift memorial Sunday at the site where a car he was riding in crashed, killing the actor and a friend.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department says speed was a factor in the one-car crash in the community of Valencia, about 48km north-west of downtown Los Angeles.

Deputies found a 2005 red Porsche Carrera GT engulfed in flames when they arrived on Saturday afternoon.

On Sunday, fans of Walker, 40, gathered to leave flowers, candles and memorabilia from the action film franchise, The Straits Times publishes this report on Monday.

Walker’s publicist said on Sunday that the other person in the car was Roger Rodas, a friend of Walker’s who owned a sports car dealership in Valencia.
