We regret to report that Ryan Dunn, of the hit MTV show Jackass, was killed in a tragic car accident early this morning. The accident took place in Chester County, Pennsylvania around 2:30 am. Reports say that Dunn’s 2007 Porsche left the roadway and burst into flames instantly killing Dunn and the other occupant.

Updates on the story report that speed may have been a possible factor. Also, hours before the crash Dunn had uploaded a picture to his twitter page showing him drinking with other friends. MTV, who’s been the sponsor behind almost every show he’s been on, had this to say…

“Dunn kicked off his career doing crazy stunts and skateboard tricks in a series of online videos, which eventually led to his part in MTV’s ‘Jackass’ in 2000. The daredevil was a key member of the crew, appearing in ‘Jackass’ spin-offs like ‘Viva La Bam’ and ‘Bam’s Unholy Union,’ as Bam’s sidekick and often acting as the voice of reason within the zany crew. … He even took a stab at Hollywood, with a role in non-’Jackass’ projects like the Jessica Simpson flick ‘Blonde Ambition’ and on the NBC procedural staple ‘Law & Order: SVU.’”
