'Jackass' Star Ryan Dunn Killed in Car Accident

20 June 2011 12:34 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

According to multiple reports, including Fox News and NBC, "Jackass" star Ryan Dunn has died in a car accident.

Based on comments made by April Margera, mother of Dunn's "Jackass" co-star Bam Margera, it appears that Dunn and a passenger were both killed in car accident when his car hit a tree in West Goshen, Pennsylvania sometime between 2:30 and 3 a.m. this morning. The identity of the second victim is still unclear, though Dunn had posted a photo of himself out with friends  two hours before his death.

Dunn was just 34 years old.

Dunn rose to fame as part of the "Jackass" crew on MTV, with perhaps his most famous stunt coming in 2002's "Jackass: The Movie" courtesy of a toy car and a great deal of chutzpah. He went on to appear in both sequels and appeared in several projects with Margera, including "Bam's World Domination" on SpikeTV. »
