The fundraiser, to benefit victims of Typhoon Haiyan, had been taking place in a race car shop near the scene of the crash. Guests rushed to put out the flames with fire extinguishers but the fireball had already engulfed the car. The driver of the car has been identified as former race car driver Roger Rodas, 38, who was also Walker's financial adviser. The pair were friends and had been racing for several years before they began collaborating on Walker's finances. Rodas had helped Walker establish his Reach Out Worldwide charity, after creating his own foundation to support widows and orphans in his native El Salvador. Rodas was also the CEO of Always Evolving, the car customization shop where Saturday's charity event had been taking place.

Walker, who leaves behind a 15-year-old daughter, was an investor in the Always Evolving car shop in Valencia, California. While at the event, Walker and Rodas decided to take the Porsche GT out for a spin.
One witness, Jim Tort, who was at the event told the NY Daily News, Rodas' eight-year-old son tried to save his dad. 'I ran over afterwards, I was trying to find Roger's son. 'I found out his son had jumped the fence and gone over. He was trying to get his dad out. Coroner Ed Winters said the bodies were so badly burned they would take days for them to be positively identified.
