Paul Walker was traveling at over 100 miles per hour when the car he was in crashed.
The Fast and the Furious star died alongside his friend, Roger Rodas - who was driving - when their Porsche crashed and burst into flames in Santa Clarita, California on November 30.
A new report from the Los Angeles County Coroner released yesterday notes Roger was driving at an "unsafe speed" on the road - which has a designated limit of 45 miles per hour - and lost control of the car "for unknown reasons." After the car crashed into a tree and a lamp post "the vehicle was almost split in half ... the majority of the vehicle was also charred" by the fire which followed.
The report also states neither Roger, 38, nor Paul, 40, had alcohol, cocaine, marijuana or other impairing drugs in their systems. It has previously been found Paul died from a combination of traumatic and thermal injuries. The report also said the actor had been in a "pugilistic" stance at the time of the crash, meaning he had braced for impact.

The Green Mile star passed away at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Monday at the age of 54, just two months after he suffered a cardiac arrest at his home and the L.A. County Coroner confirmed the cause of death today. Assistant Coroner Chief Ed Winter said the actor's personal doctor signed off on the actor's death as natural and the coroner's office found no reason to doubt the finding.
Meanwhile, it has been revealed Michael was planning to have children with his fiancee Omarosa Manigault. Her representative told CNN the couple were due to marry next year and hoped to have kids in the near future.
Celebrities rushed to pay tribute to Michael following his death, with his Green Mile co-star Tom Hanks saying, "I am terribly saddened at the loss of Big Mike. He was the treasure we all discovered on the set of The Green Mile. He was magic. He was a big love of man and his passing leaves us stunned."
