JACKASS Star Ryan Dunn Killed at 34

Ryan Dunn Whatever you think of Jackass, or its army of copy-cats (despite the disclaimers), the news today that star Ryan Dunn has sadly been killed in a car crash is likely to be met with a huge response around the world. According to TMZ - who had the news confirmed by April Margera (mother of co-star and friend Bam) Dunn and another as yet unidentified person were both killed in the crash at around 3.30am in West Goshen Township, Pennsylviania, when the car that they were travelling in left the road, hit a tree and burst into flames. It reamins unconfirmed who was driving, or the exact circumstances surrounding the crash. Somewhat chillingly, that site also ran with the two images below - the first, which Dunn posted himself on Twitter of the 34 year old drinking with two friends a few hours before the crash, and the second the jarring image of the charred wreckage of Dunn's Porsche being removed from the site... Dunn was a legend among fans of the series, thanks to his charisma and his enthusiastic approach to some of the most memorable skits the team put together, and had recently premièred his new show Proving Ground on G4. RIP.
