  The high-powered super-car, which was being driven by Roger Rodas, burst into flames after it crashed in Santa Clarita, north of Los Angeles, at 3:30pm on Saturday.
  Walker, 40, who appeared in five of the six films about illegal street racing and heists, had been at an event for his charity Reach Out Worldwide before deciding to take the car, a cherry-red Porsche Carrer, out for a drive with his friend.
  The fundraiser, to benefit victims of Typhoon Haiyan, had been taking place in a race car shop near the scene of the crash.
  Guests rushed to put out the flames with fire extinguishers but the fireball had already engulfed the car. 
  The driver of the car has been identified as former race car driver Roger Rodas, 38, who was also Walker's financial adviser.
  The pair were friends and had been racing for several years before they began collaborating on Walker's finances.
  Rodas had helped Walker establish his Reach Out Worldwide charity, after creating his own foundation to support widows and orphans in his native El Salvador.
  Rodas was also the CEO of Always Evolving, the car customization shop where Saturday's charity event had been taking place.
  The star's representatives and official Facebook page have confirmed his death.
