The death of ‘Fast & Furious’ movie series actor Paul Walker in 2013 is being used by the Sri Lanka Police to discourage speeding.
A post on the official Sri Lanka Police Facebook page with an image of the actor and the car destroyed in the crash says: “No matter how fast you are, you cannot escape death.”
Walker was 40 years old when the Porsche Carrera GT in which he was riding crashed into a tree near a charity event in Santa Clarita, California and burst into flames on 30 November 2013.
Both Walker and the driver, Roger Rodas, were pronounced dead at the scene.
Almost two years after the accident, his daughter Meadow Walker filed a lawsuit claiming that the car’s 605 horsepower engine and lack of safety features had prevented him from surviving the crash. Meadow and Porsche later settled the lawsuit.
