"Jackass" star Ryan Dunn was killed early Monday morning when his Porsche flew over a guardrail in West Goshen, Pa., slammed into a tree and burst into flames, according to local police.

Dunn's passenger -- who hasn't been identified -- was also killed.

Dunn was identified by his tattoos, according to a witness who was on the scene when the bodies were pulled from the wreckage.

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” was killed in a car accident.

The one-car accident happened on Route 322 around 2:30 a.m., according to Officer Geiger with West Goshen police.

Dunn was known primarily for his dangerous antics and practical jokes in the "Jackass" movies with his long-time friend Bam Margera. He is also a member of the CKY Crew with Margera.

The #RIPRyanDunn hashtag was blowing up on Twitter and Ryan Dunn was the top trending topic Monday morning as news of his death spread.

MTV released this statement via Twitter regarding the death of Ryan Dunn:

"We're deeply saddened by the passing of a member of the MTV family, Ryan Dunn. Our hearts and thoughts are with his friends and family."

Ryan Dunn was 34.

This worthless POS will get more media coverage than the plethora of fallen military members who come home in boxes every day.

The roads in Goshen, Paoli and such are some of the best hilly, twisting, narrow, sports car thrilling roads in the world, especially the ones dating back to when it was all farmland.

The only better road in the Philly area for maximum butt pucker is Lincoln Drive, between Huntington and the River Drives.

Wasn't he the Jackass guy who shoved the toy car up his butt and went to the doctor to get an XRay?

Seems he upgraded from toy to full size.

life imitates art

Given that this clown made a name for himself by shoving a toy car up his arse - yeah, I'd say that life really did imitate "art" in this case.

Photos of the car look like it just flattened into a little piece of metal. Very high speed accident.

Less than 3 years ago, every good leftist knew exactly what the American casualty count was and how much it differed from yesterday. Now all they have are these people over whom to grieve.

MTV “hearts and thoughts” but perish the thought (can’t say “God forbid”) they offer their prayers.

Never saw the show or heard of this star, but it’s got to be very tough for the family to lose someone so young.
