'Jackass' star Ryan Dunn dies in fiery Pa. crash

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — "Jackass" star Ryan Dunn, who along with his cast mates made Americans cringe and snicker through vulgar stunts in their multimillion-dollar TV and movie franchise, was killed early Monday in a fiery car crash. He was 34.

Dunn, a daredevil who gained notoriety for diving into a sewage tank and performing other unsavory stunts, was driving his 2007 Porsche in suburban Philadelphia when it careered off the road, flipped over a guardrail and crashed into the woods before bursting into flames. A passenger was also killed, and speed may have been a factor in the crash, West Goshen Township police said.

Saw this earlier today. Sadly it's not too surprising but still a waste. They were also saying that he Tweeted pictures of him and friends drinking a few hours before the crash and think alcohol played a part in it.

Sad, but not surprised.

Wow, can you imagine how fast he was going, to turn the car into shredded scrap like that?

So sad, and so predictable. RIP.

But the real question is.....
Did they get it on video?

R.I.P.

loki · 06-20-2011, 04:27 PM

they were just filming for jackass 5...or whatever number they're on now

SteveH · 06-20-2011, 05:16 PM

Ya....sad.

Although have to say - living in the same community with these guys....they weren't well received. What they did for the films was one thing - but having a bunch of adult children who never grew up flying around town got old. Its funny on film - but they really were jackasses day in and day out..The town of West Chester made them persona non grata for the most part..So this car antic was no surprise.

You should see the lambo they 'play' with on some of the back roads.

His death has been widely reported by reliable news agencies, I am sure any Facebook post is the hoax.
