Dunn, who famously shoved a toy car into his rectum in the first Jackass movie in 2002, and an unidentified person both died in the crash which happened around 3 a.m. at Route 322 and New Street in West Goshen Township, reports TMZ.

April Margera, mother of Dunn's Jackass costar Bam Margera, confirmed to Philadelphia radio station WMMR that Dunn was killed in a single-car accident about 35 miles outside of Philadelphia.

Police have confirmed to AP that the star and a passenger died of injuries sustained in the crash of Dunn's 2007 Porsche. Speed may have been a factor, reports AP.

A few hours before his death, Dunn posted a photo to Twitter of himself drinking with two other men.

Apparently the the car caught fire in the crash -- and hours later, a tow truck was called to the scene to remove the charred wreckage.

Dunn had just started work on Proving Ground, a new 9-episode series on the G4 cable network, airing Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
