Porsche is not at fault for the crash that led to the deaths of Paul Walker IV and his friend Roger W. Rodas, ruled U.S. District Judge Philip S. Gutierrez on April 4.

The judge ruled in favor of Porsche in regards to a wrongful death lawsuit and a product liability lawsuit, brought about by Kristine M. Rodas, Rodas’ widow.

Walker, star of the “Fast & Furious” film franchise, and former race car driver Rodas, died in a fiery, one-car crash in Santa Clarita, Calif., on Nov. 30,  2013. The car was a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT.
