"Jackass" star Ryan Dunn died in a car accident early Monday morning near his home in Pennsylvania as confirmed by her mother April Margera. He was 34.

NBC Philadelphia reports that Dunn and another passenger died in a 3 a.m crash at Route 322 and New Street in West Goshen Township, Pennsylvania.

According to the West Goshen Police Department, Dunn and another passenger died at around 3 a.m when Dunn's 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 went off the road in West Goshen and was in flames. Excessive speed may have a contributing factor in the accident, police said.
