Jackass star Ryan Dunn dies in car accident

[Brian117]

"Jackass" star Ryan Dunn was killed early Monday morning when his Porsche flew over a guardrail in West Goshen, Pa., slammed into a tree and burst into flames, according to local police.

Dunn's passenger -- who police have not identified -- was also killed.

Dunn was identified by his tattoos, according to a witness who was on the scene when the bodies were pulled from the wreckage.

Bam Margera's mom, April called into Preston and Steve's morning radio show, to confirm that one of the stars of MTV’s "Jackass” was killed in a car accident.

The one-car accident happened on Route 322 around 2:30 a.m., according to Officer Geiger with West Goshen police. The Porsche shot through about 40 yards of trees before it hit the last one and exploded into flames, according to police.

Dunn was known primarily for his dangerous antics and practical jokes in the "Jackass" movies with his long-time friend Bam Margera. He is a member of the CKY Crew with Margera. Dunn also co-hosted a show on the G4 network called "Proving Ground."

The #RIPRyanDunn hashtag was blowing up on Twitter and Ryan Dunn was the top trending topic Monday morning as news of his death spread.

MTV released this statement via Twitter regarding the death of Ryan Dunn:

"We're deeply saddened by the passing of a member of the MTV family, Ryan Dunn. Our hearts and thoughts are with his friends and family."

Ryan Dunn was 34.

There are pictures of the crash located in the source. Hate to say it but this was bound to happen sooner or later with all their crazy stunts and stupidity (even though this wasn't part of a show). RIP Ryan.

For someone that made a living pulling off crazy stunts (never actually watched Jackass but I know of it), that's a way to go.

Was he driving it properly?

Was he driving it properly?

alot of sources are saying he was drunk

 

[jaxxster]

I hate to sound insensitive but if it was the case that he was drunk then absolutley no sympathy for this guy!

He did post a pic 2 hours before the accident on twitter of him and his mates drinking

I didn't watch Jackass often (when I did, it was with a friend and it was at his house). Which one was he again?

 

[Nimbus]

Yeah, I cant find any sympathy for a person who died crashing their car when they were drunk.

His family, yes, but him personally...no.

Not being heartless or anything.

the bearded one that looks like Zach Galifianakis

and i agree drunk driving is the lamest most stupidest thing to do.

 

[Hydreigon]

Was Dunn's passenger also drunk?

 

[PyroSpark]

If you've got no interest in the story, then why even reply?
I barely know who the guy was, but it doesn't give me any right to be flippant about it.
He was somebody's son. Somebody's best friend. Somebody loved him.
So this is not a time for jokes and stupid commentary.

Have a little respect and human decency.

Or have years of hiding behind the anonymity of the internet stripped that from you?
