WEST GOSHEN, Pa. – Fox 29 News has learned that Ryan Dunn of MTV’s “Jackass” series died in an early morning crash Monday in Chester County, Pa.

Police in West Goshen confirmed a fatal accident occurred but were not immediately releasing any other details.

The crash occurred in West Goshen Township and kept Route 322 closed between New Street and Pottstown Pike for much of the morning. Motorists were advised to use Ashbridge Street to avoid the closure before the road reopened around 9:30 a.m.

Fox 29 News spoke to the mother of “Jackass” star Bam Margera, who said she has been told Dunn, 34, was killed in the wreck.

Margera’s mother also said an unidentified second person died in the crash, which happened around 3 a.m. She said she did not know who was driving the car, and there may have been a third occupant.-[Fox 29 Philadelphia]

Ryan Dunn, or whoever runs the unconfirmed @ryandunntv Twitter, posted a picture of Ryan and two friends drinking late last night. It was Ryan’s final Tweet (though oddly enough another unconfirmed, but “official” Twitter page – that doesn’t have many followers, says that Ryan Dunn posted at 10:30 AM today). RIP Ryan Dunn. We all thought you were invincible.

Ryan has a brand new show called G4’s Proving Ground which just premiered on June 14th. To promote it he posted a “Celebrity Playlist” to YouTube. Watch the promo, posted 18 days ago, and other videos below…
