Paul Walker's Car Accident Was Not Caused By Mechanical Issues, Official Says

paul walker car accident
Investigators have found no evidence that the Porsche carrying "Fast & Furious" actor Paul Walker had mechanical problems before it crashed.
A law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation tells The Associated Press the car lost control due to "speed, and speed alone.
The official requested anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak publicly.
The investigation also ruled out debris in the roadway as causing the car in which Walker was a passenger to smash into a light pole and tree.
The Nov. 30 crash killed Walker and the driver, his friend and financial adviser Roger Rodas.
Investigators won't set a firm speed at which they think the car was traveling until Porsche engineers come to California next month to extract information from on-board data collectors.

Woolwhich killers, Michael Adebolajo and Adebowale found guilty

Woolwich killers, Michael Adebolajo (left) and his friend, Michael Adebowale (right) have been found guilty of the murder of British soldier, Lee Rigby. 
25 year old Rigby was attacked by the Muslim extremists on May 22 outside his military barracks in Woolwich South London. They first run the soldier down with their car while he was returning from an errand, then mutilated and nearly beheaded him in a crime that happened in broad day light.
It took the jury only 90 minutes to come back with a guilty verdict. Adebolajo reportedly kissed the Koran and smiled as the verdicts were read but Adebowale didn't react. They will both be sentenced next month.
