Police Rule Out Racing As Factor In Walker Crash - Impact Speed Was Only 40 to45 MPH

Headline is misleading. The turn in Hercules St., as can be seen in Google Maps, opens up to long stretch of downhill straightaway. The deceased clearly accelerated and crashed long AFTER rounding the curve at 30 mph over its speed limit.

How can a 45 mph crash cause such an extensive damage to the car? There is practically nothing left. If the car is so unsafe why is it allowed to be on the road in the first place?

Carrera GT is incredibly strong,carbon tub construction can withstand much more impact then human body is able to take without heavy internal damage causing death.
This accident caused total disintegration of the car,only two reasons:
either the car was shoddily "rebuilt" and original tub was already too stressed or the actual speed at impact was closer to 100mph (or more).

no way the car had that much damage going 45mph. More like 145mph.

45 mph impact? I find that extremely difficult to believe. I've personally seen the aftermath of SEVERAL vehicles that struck trees and other such fixed object at greater velocities than 45 mph and, though suffering extensive damage, did not erupt into a consuming inferno. Walker's daughter allegedly witnessed the crash. Ask her whether or not the vehicle rifled into the tree. What do witnesses relate? Loud revving engines before impact? Where's the security camera footage from nearby businesses and buildings? Fluid leaks: heavily soiled trail or light spraying trail leading to the tree? Seriously, if the car was speeding, why all of the secrecy? The tire mark the vehicle made on the curb as it left the roadway doesn't indicate a 45 mph wheel impact. Very skeptical about that report.

45 mph impact? Yeah after another 45 mph was scrubbed off before impact.

Could we request you do a re-enactment just to be sure?

im no expert, but if if had to guess how fast they were going at time of impact id say by looking at the pictures it had to be at least 100+
i will not buy into 45mph at time of impact- seriously i think 140+ .. come on, the car is gone !!!
at45mph lincoln towncars look like the guy did a bad parking job and get scratched up-
a carrera gt at 45mph = total loss and death ??

The car is gone because it was burned to a crisp. 45 mph near highway speed, hitting a tree at that speed heads-on will do extensive damage I believe. I am not an expert, but doing a quick internet search will show that the CGT is "hard to control", or in layman's term: "a piece of shit" aka Porsche released a shoddy product. Strictly only my opinion of course.

Total BS! The security camera footage begs to differ.
