Jackass star dies in car crash

Los Angeles - Jackass star Ryan Dunn died on Monday morning in a car crash in Pennsylvania, reports TMZ. He was 34.

The news was confirmed by April Margera, mother of Jackass star Bam Margera.

The site reports that Dunn and another passenger died in a 03:00 crash on Route 322 in West Goshen Township, Pennsylvania. "It's unclear who was driving the car. We're told the car caught fire in the crash - and hours later, a tow truck was called to the scene to remove the charred wreckage."
