CCTV footage that reveals the precise moment that Paul Walker's Porsche Carrera GT careered into a tree and burst into a flames has been released - as one witness claimed that the crash was an accident not a drag race.
Accident investigators 'have received eyewitness statements that the car involved was travelling alone at a high rate of speed' the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said in a written statement on Monday. 'No eyewitness has contacted the [department] to say there was a second vehicle.'
The surveillance footage shot from a nearby rooftop camera and obtained by OMG! Insider shows a plume of black smoke billow into the sky in the seconds after the crash, just moments before what appears to be a large detonation sends a huge fireball skywards.

It's going to stay with me forever.
