Fast And Furious star Paul Walker died earlier this evening after a car accident in Santa Clarita, California. Multiple reports indicate Walker, 40, was a passenger in a Porsche Carrera GT that collided with a pole and caused a fire. Walker and the driver, Roger Rodas, were both pronounced dead at the scene.
Here's the statement from Walker's management team that appeared on his Facebook page:
Universal Studios has released the following statement:
An employee of one of the companies that Walker owned in Valencia said that the driver of the car was Roger Rodas, the CEO of Always Evolving, a car customization shop in Santa Clarita that is a business interest of Walker's. Walker and Rodas had previously raced in the Pirelli World Challenge series.

It seems the speculation on the crash first started on TFW2005 forums:
According to TMZ, Walker was going for rides in a "Porsche GT" when the incident occurred. The fiery accident reportedly happened during one of those test spins.

According to the Santa Clarita Valley Signal:
