A federal judge in California ruled that vehicle malfunctioning was not responsible for the crash that claimed the life of The Fast and the Furious-star Paul Walker in November 2013.
The wrongful-death suit was brought by Kristine Rodas, whose husband, Roger, was driving a Porsche Carrera GT when it crashed and caught fire in Santa Clarita. In the ruling, U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez found that the plaintiff (Rodas) had not presented sufficient evidence to prove that alleged mechanical flaws with the Carrera GT caused her husband's death.
Interestingly, Walker's daughter Meadow has filed a similar case in September 2015 alleging several design and mechanical defects.
After Walker's death, the filming of Furious 7 was completed with the help of his brother, who filled up as his body double.
