According to the 15-page report released by the corner’s office on Friday, the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT carrying Walker was traveling at “approximately 100+ mph” when it spun out of control and struck a light pole and a tree. Walker and the vehicle’s driver, Roger Rodas, died almost immediately after the crash.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is currently working with Porsche engineers to decipher the Carrera GT’s so-called black box, according to CNN. That information will reveal specific details of the crash, such as throttle position, air bag deployment and if either victim was wearing a seat belt.
Walker was on break from filming the seventh installment of the Fast and Furious franchise when the accident occurred. Universal Pictures, the company behind the movie, initially halted production of the film, but recently stated that Fast and Furious 7 will arrive in theaters in April 2015. The film was originally scheduled to debut this summer.
