Paul Walker First Responders Audio Released: He’s ‘DOA’
So terrible. By the time that first responders arrived on the scene of Paul and Roger Rodas’ horrific car crash on Nov. 30, they were immediately pronounced ‘dead on arrival’ on the 911 audio dispatch recording obtained by TMZ.
Paul Walker may have tried to escape the Porsche that he was trapped in after it crashed in Santa Clarita, Calif., but sadly, he died of traumatic and thermal injuries before firefighters arrived three minutes after a 911 call was made, TMZ reports. According to the recording, they reported that there were “two fatalities” at the crash site — Paul and the driver, Roger Rodas, 38, who died of “multiple traumatic injuries.”
