'Fast And Furious' Star Paul Walker's 'Crash Resulted From Reckless Driving,' Said Porsche

"Fast and Furious" star Paul Walker's daughter sued the luxury car brand Porsche on Monday for her father's "wrongful death" in 2013. Walker was a passenger in a Porsche Carrera when the car steered off the road and crashed.

Walker's 16-year-old daughter, Meadow filed the civil lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court claiming that her father was killed in the accident since Porsche's 2005 Carrera GT sports car was lacking many safety features. It was also alleged in the lawsuit that the safety features are found on all the well-equipped sport cars and even on Porsche's low-key model road cars, according to NBC news.

Walker and Roger Rodas, a professional race car driver who was also in the car with the 40-year-old "Fast and Furious" star were burned to death when their car dashed on to a tree and a lamp post on the roadside on November 30, 2013. Officers from Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department along with California Highway Patrol investigated the case and concluded that the accident occurred because of over-speeding and not due to mechanical failure.

"As we have said before, we are very sad whenever anyone is hurt in a Porsche vehicle, but we believe the authorities' reports in this case clearly establish that this tragic crash resulted from reckless driving and excessive speed," said Porsche in a report by Mirror.

The racer's wife had sued Porsche for defect in the vehicle design some time back while the "Fast and Furious" star's daughter has filed a lawsuit this Monday. According to Washington Post, it was also noted in the lawsuit that the vehicle did not have suitable side door reinforcement bars. The car was also said to have lacked electronic stability control system that helps the driver to maintain control of the vehicle under extreme conditions. The seat belts of the car and the fuel hose were also claimed to be defective.

The defective seat belt "snapped Walker's torso back with thousands of pounds of force, thereby breaking his ribs and pelvis, flattening his seat and trapping him," noted the lawsuit. Meadow's attorney also claimed that Walker breathed in the soot for one minute and 20 seconds until the car began to burn.
