CCTV footage of the tragic car crash that killed The Fast and the Furious actor Paul Walker and his friend Roger Rodas has been released.

In the short video, there is a plume of smoke as the car collides with a lamp post before exploding.

The incident happens so quickly that it is only when it is slowed down that the extent of the crash can be seen. Other vehicles are quick to arrive on the scene followed by a fire engine.

Mr Walker and Mr Rodas were driving back from a charity event on Sunday held by the Fast and Furious actor when Mr Rodas seemed to lose control of his Porsche Carrera GT.
