Via TMZ:
L.A. Clippers superstar Chris Paul says the driver in the Paul Walker crash was a friend of his — and says he will “always be grateful for the friendship.”
As we previously reported, the man driving the Porsche that crashed in Valencia, CA yesterday was Roger Rodas — who worked with Paul to create a charity organization and helped him launch his car shop.
CP3 went to Instagram to pay tribute to both men — writing, “Prayers to the families of my friends Roger Rodas and Paul Walker … I’m forever grateful for the friendship and you will never be forgotten!”
It’s unclear how CP3 and Roger knew each other.
