Ryan Dunn, the “Jackass” star who once inserted a toy car into his rectum, died last night in a car accident when he drove his Porsche off a wooded Pennsylvania road, killing himself and an unidentified passenger. The details sound pretty gruesome:
He did have a passenger with him at the time of the crash but both bodies were burnt so badly that the second person has not been identified yet. Ryan was identified by some of his tattoos that he has on his chest and a few patches of facial hair.
Rt 322 isn’t a major highway in the west chester area and isn’t lit very well. He was driving his porsche when he lost control slammed into a tree and his porsche burst into flames. [96.1 Morning Freak Show]
Dunn tweeted a picture of himself earlier that night that showed him holding a beer, but there’s no word on whether alcohol influenced the crash. Regardless, the pictures of the charred wreckage are sobering:
I was never a huge “Jackass” fan, but I always liked Dunn, who seemed gentler and more of a decent human than the rest of the “Jackass” crew. This is a terrible tragedy, especially considering how many times I’ve wished that Steve-O and Bam Margera would die in a fiery car wreck.

Holy Jesus Christ. RIP mister
RIP Random Hero.
I just caught him on Minute to Win It before going out to get myself some beers. I walked home.
I should have mentioned that I wasn’t actually watching Minute to Win It, but nonetheless, I did watch a small portion of it, and for that, I am a terrible person.
Hi, I’m Ryan Dunn, and this is the hellish fatal car wreck! Welcome to Ja–
*guitar strum*
I recently listened to a interview from Steve-O and he seems to be normal now after his friends sent him to a Psych ward and is sober now. He actually seemed intelligent, but yes it should have been Jackass Steve-O.
Worst Jackass stunt ever.
Such a shame.
Didn’t you say he was driving a car? I would expect there to be some evidence of that in the photos… [scrolls up] Porsche? Ah, I see it now.
Ryan Dunn was the kind of guy who would shove a Matchbox car inside his own pooper just so Steve-O wouldn’t have to disappoint his own father. Seems like a pretty nice gesture. R.I.P., Dunn.

Are they sure it wasn’t Zack Galafianakis? ‘Cause I think they’re the same person.
Since when is beer served on the rocks?
Having a hard time feeling bad about this.
Matt, like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target! You’re going to have to come down here. You’re going to have to come down here!
KHAAANNNN!
This is weird because last night I rented Jackass 3 because I just wanted to laugh without having to get into a story.
What’ll happen to his new show on G4 now?
Do yall really think all these jokes are necessary? I mean a man just died. I liked Dunn man, this really sucks.
Is it surprising that a Jackass cast member died? No.
Is it surprising that a Jackass cast member died in something that didn’t involve a recorded stunt? Yes.
RIP Random Hero.
Is it surprising that a Jackass star got hammered drunk and crashed his Porsche into a tree? Answer that honestly.
I am not making any jokes. I’m legitimately angry about this. Just a senseless loss of life that could have been avoided.
I’m not trying to speak ill of the dead, but fuck, man. Call a cab.
And I know the tox screens aren’t back yet, but I don’t think I’m going out on a limb here given the picture he posted and the time of the accident (30 minutes after last call.)
The worst part about all of this is the loss of the passenger. Oh and the Porsche. That car is a thing of beauty
There is always hope that steve-o or bam was the passenger!
RIP Dunn.
Zach galafianakis is not Ryan Dunn. He’s the guy from hangover
Just watched him last night on Minute to Win It, and then drove home the same route from the Jersey Shore….horrible, horrible accident. Speed kills.
Wow…this really sucks. Ryan was definitely the coolest of all the Jackass boys – always seeming kind and laid back. He will sincerely be missed. Those photos are awful…
BTW these jokes on his death are fucking gross
anybody making a joke out of this, you’ll get yours. trust me.
R.I.P for drunk driving and killing yourself and others…nope no peace in that.
I know the tox screens aren’t back yet, but I don’t think I’m going out on a limb here given the picture he posted and the time of the accident (30 minutes after last call.
sir, i took a liking to all the men in the dickhouse productions. you would have to know who they were from little guys to now… read who they are in biographies, ryan was great and his friends were even greater but the fact that the one of the most innocent ones out of all of them had to die is horrible…. i am sad to see so many of my idols to past away in the last two to three years. but please do not wish death upon anyone.
also for all you fucking freaks who dont care or are not surprised dudes fuck you hope you die and everyone doesnt feel bad for you… hey guess what karma’a a bitch and you wont know until its to late
