Ryan Dunn, who will forever be known for sticking a Hot Wheels car up his own ass in the movie "Jackass," and another as-of-yet-unidentified person, both died in a crash outside of Philadelphia early this morning. UPDATED.
Police say they don't know whether the 34-year-old Dunn, who appeared in all of the "Jackass" movies, or the unidentified person was driving the car. The shot up top was taken at the scene of a one-car accident that took place in West Goshen, Pa. around 3:30 AM Monday morning.
It's too mangled to tell, but it may in fact be the remains of Dunn's Porsche 911 GT3.
Police also don't know whether alcohol was to blame — but Dunn did tweet out the following picture from his Tumblr account hours before his death.
Our guess is that isn't an iced tea he's drinking.
UPDATE: MTV just tweeted out the following statement: "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."
UPDATE 2: This is a photo of what Ryan Dunn's Porsche 997 GT3 looked like before the deadly accident — we're obviously still assuming that this was the vehicle being driven. We've received no confirmation yet on whether that's the case.
Hat tip to the folks at Vivid Racing for the photo.
UPDATE 3: Sister site Deadspin has the police report from the crash. See it here. The report claims Dunn was the driver — and yes, it was his Porsche 911 GT3.
UPDATE 4: From NBC Philadelphia: "The Porsche shot through about 40 yards of trees before it hit the last one and exploded into flames, according to police."
Are you fucking kidding me? Ryan Dunn was the first Jackass member to go? Not Steve-O. Well I guess he's sober and all, but I still thought he would fall off the band wagon. And if not him, I was at least hoping it would be Bam Margera. Because he's a giant douche and all. But not Ryan Dunn. What's next? Is Wee Man going to drown in a puddle? Actually, I'll put my money on Preston having a heart attack. That's the really fat one if you haven't brushed up on your Jackass in a while.
P.S. Coldplay is super gay, but I'll be damned if it doesn't make for a sad commemorative music collage video. Damn you Chris Martin. Damn you Ryan Dunn.
