The family of Paul Walker believes the speeding Porsche he was riding in when he died two weeks ago hydroplaned on reflective plastic markers in the street, according to TMZ.
Walker's family has been talking with stunt experts who have visited the site of the crash and discussed what seems to be a legit theory.
When a speeding vehicle hits the plastic markers, known as "Botts' Dots," the vehicle will hydroplane and cause the driver of the vehicle to lose control.
In photos and videos taken while the Porsche Carrera GT, which was being driven by Walker's business partner Roger Rodas, was on fire, Botts' Dots can be seen on the ground near the scene of the incident.
Cars moving at a speed of around or over 90 mph will "lose traction of hitting a series of Botts' Dots" according to experts who spoke with the family.
In 2004, Porsche supposedly sent a memo out to dealerships warning them about control problems regarding the Carrera GT.
"This vehicle cannot drive over a Foster Beer can that is lying on its side. It will crush the can and damage the carbon fiber under panels," the note reads, according to TMZ. "You need to be aware of what type of road surface you are on (dips, pot holes, seam heights, etc.)."
Police have not solidified the exact reason for the crash, but it seems they're at least looking into the Botts' Dots theory.
A big car rally memorial was held at the crash site for Walker this weekend which drew a crowd of over 5,000 people.
