I'm actually really sad about this news, he was one of my favorite 'Jackass' stars...
34-year-old 'Jackass' alum Ryan Dunn died in a very tragic car accident around 3am this morning, report TMZ.
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” had indeed died.
Ryan and unidentified passenger both died in the crash after his Porshe flew over a guardrail in West Goshen, PA., slammed into a tree and burst into flames, according to local police. It is unknown who exactly was driving at the time.
Ryan was not only the star of MTV's Jackass but also had just recently gotten his own show on G4, Proving Ground.
The following photos are of his vehicle after the crash/fire. There's also a photo of Ryan Dunn out drinking with friends Sunday night, which he posted on his twitter page.
Rest in peace you good looking fella.
