At the time of the tragic death of Jackass star, Ryan Dunn's Porsche 911 was going about 130 mph when the horrific car accident occurred, instantly killing Dunn and his passenger Zachary Hartwell.
West Goshen Police Chief Michael Carroll said that an accident reconstruction team was able to determine that the Porsche was traveling at a very high rate of speed when it collided with a guardrail, and then landed in the woods, and caught on fire.

"I've never seen a car destroyed in an automobile accident the way this car was even before it caught on fire," Carroll said. "The automobile actually came apart. It was unbelievable and I've been on a lot of fatal accident scenes. This is by far the worse I've ever seen."
It’s been reported that both men were drinking at a bar before the tragic car accident. The Chester County Coroner's Office said that the cause of death for both men was blunt force trauma and thermal trauma. Toxicology results are expected from both men on Wednesday or Thursday, according to the police chief.

The only two surprises are 1. This mental giant lived as long as he did. 2. His stupidity and self-centeredness did kill anyone other than the guy in the car with him.

Sad, but not a tragedy. Reckless man killed himself and his friend.

Good Lord.....130 mph. They both had to be drunk to drive like that on a rural road at night. SMH

That's insane, 130 mph, at night, on a rural highway. That exceeds any driver's capability, even in a Porsche, Call 911.

I'll bet the same space aliens that held his accelerator pedal down, injected him like a sponge with alcohol after the crash. Yeah, that's it!

Jackass fans will say he died in a blaze of glory. Why don't these numbnuts who seek thrills go in the army instead of becoming fat couch potatoes with no girlfriends living with mama and papa.

That's actually a great idea and it'd make them heroes too. And they could go out in a true blaze of glory instead of being a drunken driver who lost control of his car.

Enough reporting on this guy. Here is what is known: He was drinking AND he was going at least 130 MPH. Is anyone shocked he is dead? This guy was an immature and selfish. Roger Ebert is right.

Yes, Ebert was right and he was pulled apart for telling the truth. But I congratulate him for having the courage to be the first to say how WRONG Dunn's actions were.
