Default RIP Ryan Dunn

Jackass star Ryan Dunn died in a car crash this morning at 3am.

Link

Jackass star Ryan Dunn was killed in a car accident, NBC's Philadelphia affiliate reports.

Dunn and an unidentified person both died early Monday when their Porsche crashed in West Goshen Township — which happens to be the home of QVC — outside Philadelphia, according to local police. The car flew over the guardrail, slammed into a tree and burst into flames.

About two hours before the accident, a photo was posted on Dunn's Tumblr of him drinking with friends.

TMZ, which first reported the news, confirmed the death with April Margera, co-star Bam Margera's mother.

Dunn is most famous for his MTV series and the spin-off movies in which he had a penchant for crashing golf carts and sticking toys up his rectum.

This did not happen too far from me. I went to school in the area and know it well. Very sad. Seemed like a real cool dude from the shows I saw him on.

Also just saw pics of the car... 911 GT3. Completely destroyed. I hope he died before the car caught fire.

You guys are telling me you didn't watch jackass and think to yourself "I know Darwins' riding shotgun, but when will he strike"?

RIP either way

Just got into work and heard from my buddies about this. The road that the accident happened on has a good 1/4 mile stretch that we all used to race down, but it goes from 2 lanes to 1 pretty quickly. Apparently he was doing a high speed run down the road in his GT3...he was a good guy who didn't let the fame get to his head and you could chill with at the bars here in West Chester. Sad, sad day...RIP Dunn.

" he had a penchant for crashing golf carts and sticking toys up his rectum". That would look good on his headstone! Too bad the passenger had to die through his stupidity!

We dont even know if alcohol was a factor in the accident yet, so stop bashing on Dunn. Ryan Dunn seemed like the most easy going out of the jackass gang, didn't come off as an asshole or douche bag... too bad i cant say the same for the rest of them. this is really sad seeing this guy pass i grew up seeing him do dumb shit along with the rest of the jackass crew, this is just a horrible way to go hopefully he died on impact and not from the fire . RIP Ryan Dunn.

I believe he posted pics via his Twitter account showing him and others drinking a few hours (which they have been removed) before he wrapped his 911 around a tree.
Ironic.
