‘Jackass’ star Ryan Dunn dies in fiery car crash near Philadelphia, speed may have been factor



PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Police in southeastern Pennsylvania say
"Jackass" cast member Ryan Dunn has died of injuries sustained in
a fiery car crash, and speed may have been a factor.
West Goshen Township police say Dunn and a passenger died after
his 2007 Porsche left the roadway and burst into flames. The crash
occurred near the Philadelphia suburb of West Chester.
The 34-year-old Dunn appeared on MTV shows "Jackass" and
Bam Margera's "Viva La Bam" and the three "Jackass" big-screen adaptations.
He also was the star of his own MTV show, "Homewrecker," and
hosted "Proving Ground" on the G4 cable network.
In a statement, MTV calls Dunn "a beloved member of the MTV
family for more than a decade."
The passenger who died has not yet been identified.
