Photo - “Jackass" Star Ryan Dunn Killed in Fatal Car Crash

Anybody who has ever watched the television show “Jackass” knew who Ryan Dunn was.

Last night, the 34 year old was killed in a fatal car crash near West Goshen Township in Pennsylvania.

News reports say Dunn, and another passenger, were killed around 3:30 am Monday morning. His death was confirmed by Bam Margera's mother according to TMZ.

Dunn’s 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 apparently lost control and smashed into a guard rail before ending up in the woods and bursting into flames.

Friends say Ryan was drinking at a local bar before getting behind the wheel and downed at least 3 beers and 3 shots of hard liquor before leaving.

Trace Atkins Tennessee Home Totally Destroyed by Fire – Wife and Kids are Fine

Legendary country music star Trace Atkins lost his home to fire on Saturday but his wife and children are reported to be okay.

Atkins, who was traveling on business, was not at the home but his two children and housekeeper were.

His wife Rhonda was out running errands and was only ten minutes away when the fire started in the garage of the 5,000 square foot Brentwood Tennessee home.

Trace and his wife had lived in the home for more than ten years.

A babysitter was able to get the children and family pets out of the house before calling the fire department.

Rhonda told a local reporter,

"I'm just numb," the singer's wife of 14 years told The Tennessean. "I'm sad because we lost irreplaceable things like all Trace's awards and our family photos. But you can replace things, not people. I'm just glad that my children are safe."

In addition to his country music career, Atkins has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since 2003, and has appeared on Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice and several episodes of “King of the Hill”.

He is also the author of “A Personal Stand: Observations and Opinions from a Freethinking Roughneck”. His book was published in 2007 and showed his strong political and social views.

One interesting fact about the singer is his pinkie finger on his left hand is permanently crooked to fit around the neck of a guitar. Many years ago Trace cut off the finger in a work accident and he asked the doctors to reattach it in a different position to fit his guitar.

Trace is currently filming the movie “The First Ride of Wyatt Earp” starring alongside Val Kilmer. The film is due in theaters sometime next year.
