| Paul Walker |
The German
sports car manufacturer Porsche has claimed that the death of Fast &
Furious star Paul
Walker in a high-speed crash in November 2013 was the actor’s “own
comparative fault”.
Porsche Cars
North America (PCNA), which is seeking to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit filed
on 28 September by the actor’s daughter Meadow Walker in Los Angeles, said
in a legal filing that the limited-edition 2005 Porsche Carrera CT which
Walker was travelling in as a passenger had been “abused and altered” as well
as “misused and improperly maintained”. These alterations and failures
materially contributed to the collision that killed Walker and driver Roger
Rodas, and the actor was well aware of the risks when getting into the car, the
manufacturer says in a seven page filing.
