"Fast and Furious" actor Paul Walker's death may have been caused by illegal drag racing, CNN reported.
The driver and Walker's racing team partner, Roger Rodas, slammed a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT into a light pole on Saturday, according to CNN. Both Rodas and Walker died in the car crash. Police officials reportedly received a tip on Sunday claiming there was another car at the scene of the accident.
"Naturally, from an investigative standpoint, we need to find out if that is one of the issues," Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Richard Cohen told CNN.
According to CNN, police officials are investigating a possibility that another car may have "veered" in front of the Porche, allegedly causing the accident.
"Tire skid marks on the asphalt near the crash site, which indicate a car was doing doughnut spins, also are being looked at," Cohen told CNN. "It has not been concluded that they are related to the Walker wreck."
"The street has a reputation for fast drivers, which spurred a crackdown by deputies two years ago," Cohen added.
Officials said the remains of the two victims have not been positively identified. The bodies were reportedly extremely burnt after the car was engulfed in flames.
Fans, family and friends were left shocked by the news of Walker's death. Many of his "Fast and Furious" franchise co-stars took to social media to express their condolences for Walker and his family.
"My heart hurts it's broken no one can convince me that this is real.... Prayer warriors please pray real hard for his only child, his daughter and family...My God... My God... I can't believe I'm writing this," Tyrese Gibson wrote on his official Facebook account.
