Nothing in TFA or the NBC article linked by TFA provides enough information to conclude reckless homicide. All that is confirmed is a car leaving a roadway, crashing, and catching fire. What's your source for concluding reckless homicide?

A lot of high end cars get wrecked because (1) their owners want to drive them fast to test out what they paid for, and (2) their owners are not trained to drive high performance cars and (3) their owners drive them on public roads where there are a lot of hazards. It isn't that different than the non-significant number of rich people that die in private aviation crashes (those that fly themselves, I think private je…

Not saying that's what happened here (I haven't seen any reporting on who was driving vs who was the passenger) but it is at least part of the reason Paul Walker is dead.
