"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."

“He is also a member of the CKY Crew...”
Verb tense trouble again.
Care to place bets on his blood alcohol level at time of crash ?
Condolences to the tree and the guard rail.
Darwinism culling the herd. (Porsche gets an assist)
RIP Jack-Ass
>>Wow. Straight from Jackass to Darwin Award.<<
Too bad about the passenger.
I'll let it slide in this case. CKY stands for "Camp Kill Yourself."
This is what happens when you make tons of money for absolutely nothing other than being a complete dumbass. Spoiled rotten to the core.
My money is on Bam to go next.
It must be asked. Was someone in the porta-potty?
This is obviously a terrible tragedy for his family and friends, but could anybody really be surprised?
True, but if you play stupid games you get stupid prizes.

If my tagline wasn’t already in use I would SO use that!!! (LOL)
Somehow, I’m not surprised.
Yea the picture makes him look like he was already plastered. He just has that look. I’d say his level was way above the legal limit. Sad that he killed the person with him, thank God there weren’t more people killed.
