A Santa Clarita police department officer confirmed to TheWrap that officers were investigating “significant traffic collision” on Constellation Road at the Rye Canyon loop, but could not confirm a fatality.

A spokeswoman for Universal Pictures, which released the movies, was checking the information but had no immediate confirmation.
TMZ cited sources close to the actor saying he was in Santa Clarita for a car show to support the Philippines typhoon relief effort, and had been taking friends out for rides in his new Porsche GT. The accident happened during one of those test spins. The sources told the site that another person besides Walker was in the car.
