As the football world mourns the forward's death, the ghastly accident has drawn a similarity to the 2013 death of Fast & Furious actor Paul Walker.
Walker was riding as a passenger in a Porsche Carrera GT when it crashed into a pole and a tree before bursting into flames. His friend Roger Rodas was behind the wheel. Both men died at the scene.

In a video shared on Instagram with her 40,000 followers, she claimed she didn't walk away from sports media but was pushed out. Tiffany Salmond believes some TV bosses wanted her off-air because they saw her as 'too bold' and 'disruptive.' She has not appeared on Fox Sports' NRL coverage this season, and fans are now asking what really happened. The story is now getting attention across social media.
