"Jackass" star Ryan Dunn died in a fiery car crash in Pennsylvania early this morning.
According to TMZ, Dunn, 34, and an unidentified person both died in the crash of a 2007 Porsche, which happened around 3 a.m. at Route 322 and New Street in West Goshen Township.
According to reports, the crash occurred when car veered off the roadway and burst into flames. Speed may have been a factor.
TMZ reports that Dunn was driving.
Police confirmed to MyFoxPhilly.com that a fatal accident occurred but did not immediately release any additional details.
TMZ confirmed Dunn's death with fellow "Jackass" star Bam Margera's mother.
According to MyFoxPhilly, Margera's mother said she was not sure who was driving the car and added that there may have been a third occupant.
A few hours before his death, Dunn posted a photo to Twitter of himself drinking with two other men. The photo was later taken down.
Dunn appeared in all three of the "Jackass" movies. He also starred in the 2003 film "Haggard."
According to a biography posted on his website, Dunn was born in Ohio and moved at age 15 to Pennsylvania, where he met Bam Margera on his first day of high school.
Dunn, Margera, Christopher Raab (known as Raab Himself) and Brandon DiCamillo, under the moniker CKY for "Camp Kill Yourself," started making videos that featured them skateboarding and performing stunts.
Dunn was working as a welder and at a gas station when Johnny Knoxville, a friend of Margera's through the skateboarding circuit, asked the crew to allow their videos to be part of the series "Jackass," which became a hit on MTV and ran from 2000 to 2002.
