Thread: R.I.P. Ryan Dunn

"Jackass" star Ryan Dunn was the driver in this morning's fatal crash ... this according to cops who also say Dunn's car was "fully engulfed in flames" when officials arrived to the scene.


The West Goshen Township Police Department says officers found Dunn's 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 "off the road and in the woods."

Both Dunn and his passenger "died as a result of injuries sustained in the accident." Cops will release more information on the passenger once officials can positively identify the body.

Cops say "speed may have been a contributing factor to the accident."

An investigation into the crash is ongoing.

As TMZ previously reported, Dunn tweeted a photo of himself drinking with friends hours before the accident.

Jackass will never be the same :(

So sad. One of the best daredevils. What was he doing, racing.

Wow! I just watched the Jackass guys perform on Minute To Win It this past week. This is sad news! Wonder who the passenger was? :(

R.i.p.

I only live about 20 minutes from where that happened and the news around here is that he was doing around 100 mph and was most likely drinking. If that's the case, I have zero sympathy for someone who would do something so careless, let alone take another innocent life because of his stupidity.

I second this notion. 2 of my best friends wives were killed together as the result of a drunk driver going 100mph+. They both had children also. Sad for his family and the family of the passenger.

The passenger should of had the smarts to not get in the car with a drinker regardless so the door swings both ways. :( sad news still. Just glad no outside ppl were killed as a result of this (if indeed he was drinking).

I agree! These Jackass guys seem to love taking chances anyhow. However, this may have been related to drinking & driving. A totally different ballgame. :(

There's always going to be the "zero sympathy" people. And I suppose that's okay, because there is no way around the fact that drinking and driving kills. He was human too, though. 34 years of life ended shamefully, but I will still miss him greatly. Sad day for Jackass fans and those who enjoyed him alike.

Don't get me wrong. I think this guy was funny. However, drinking & driving is entirely different than making a movie! I have ZERO sympathy for stuff like this. It's sad to see any life lost but if this was due to drinking & driving after a night of partying I have no sympathy. There was another person lost in this accident as well.

harsh. this semmed like a nice guy that made a stupid mistake and it cost him his life.
if he could read this he would not want your sympathy, but he also would not have wanted his nose rubbed in it neither.
r.i.p ryan, my thoughts go to your family and freinds
