TMZ reported that Ryan Dunn of MTV’s Jackass has been killed in a car accident.  Dunn starred in all of the Jackass films.

Dunn, 34, was driving along route 322 in West Goshen Township, Pennsylvania when the crash occurred. He and a passenger were killed in the accident. No other vehicles were involved in the accident, and it is unclear who was driving the car at the time. The passenger has not been identified at this time but Dunn’s identity has been confirmed and his family has been notified.

According to TMZ, the car burst into flames, a tow truck hauled away the wreckage a couple of hours later. The cause of the accident hasn’t been determined.

Earlier on Sunday evening, Dunn posted a photograph on Twitter, which showed him and a couple of friends drinking.  Autopsies will be conducted later today.

Thousands of people are killed on our roads on annual basis, oftentimes because of the negligence of another driver; an accident lawyer has the ability to prove negligence in a court. People who are injured can accumulate medical bills and other related costs.  Accident victims can lose wages while they recover from their injuries. These individuals can employ an accident attorney to recoup the financial losses associated with their accident.

Accidental injuries can result in permanent disability or even death. The victims or their loved ones may need to retain an accident lawyer to gain compensation needed for their support or burial expenses.
