Jackass Star Ryan Dunn's Car After Accident
Ryan Dunn, a star of the "Jackass" television and film series, died early Monday in a fiery car crash in southeastern Pennsylvania. He was 34. Dunn, known for his daring and often dangerous stunts, was driving his Porsche in the early hours of the morning when the accident occurred on Route 322 and New Street in West Goshen Township, according to local police. The car reportedly veered off the road, crashed into a wooded area, and burst into flames. Both Dunn and a passenger, identified as Zachary Hartwell, 30, were killed in the crash. Hartwell was a production assistant on the second "Jackass" movie. Authorities stated that speed may have been a factor in the accident, and an investigation is ongoing. Dunn had posted a photo on social media just hours before the crash, showing him drinking with friends. However, it remains unclear if alcohol played a role in the accident. The Chester County coroner's office conducted autopsies on both bodies but deferred releasing the cause of death pending further investigation. Dunn's death has shocked fans and colleagues alike. He gained fame for his stunts and pranks in the "Jackass" TV series and movies, a reality show that became a cultural phenomenon in the early 2000s. Tributes from fellow "Jackass" cast members and fans have poured in, expressing sorrow and remembering Dunn's adventurous spirit. His death highlights the potential dangers associated with high-speed driving and has raised discussions about road safety. |
