Jackass star Ryan Dunn was killed in a fiery crash along with a passenger on Route 322 near West Goshen Township, Pa around 3 a.m. That is just one hour after closing time at most bars. Just hours before the crash, Dunn tweeted pictures of himself and two friends drinking.

Due to the time of the crash and the drinking pictures, it is easy to surmise that alcohol may have had something to do with the crash that took the Jackass star's life. Because there was so little left of the car after the wreck, police are not sure if Ryan Dunn was driving the car at this point.

He must have been having fun because it was Dunn's first tweet since June 14 when he tweeted, "Premier of proving ground tonight at 8 on G4." Last night's tweet was simply a picture. Unfortunately the pic of three friends drinking ended up being a harbinger of the terrible death in the Jackass star's Porsche to come just a few hours later.

Obviously it is not okay to drink and drive. If alcohol turns out to be the cause of this terrible crash, hopefully it will serve as a wakeup call for others who are tempted to drink and drive

It's sad that his parents outlived their child and that he took someone with him.

yea...   I don't believe it's been confirmed yet but if so... that's one of the many reason's not to drink and drive. If I drink even one beer I will not drive anywhere...

We had NO concept of a designated driver back in the long ago. Every day I live is a gift. There are so many times I should have been waxed.

"PHILADELPHIA – "Jackass" star Ryan Dunn had a blood-alcohol content that was more than twice the legal limit when he and a passenger died in a fiery one-car crash this week, according to a toxicology report.

Dunn's Porsche may have been traveling as fast as 140 mph in a 55 mph zone when it jumped a guardrail, flew into a wooded ravine, struck a tree and burst into flames, police said. "

"Employees at the bar said Dunn was not visibly intoxicated at any point that night and surveillance video shared with police supported those observations, said Frank Herron, the bar's general manager."

Personal observation: some people who drink regularly may appear to be functioning as if they were sober, when in fact they are of course intoxicated. It's known as "holding your liquor", though I think a more accurate description might be "disguising your drunkenness".   

Damn shame about the crash.... maybe he played the odds too many times. Probably just dumb luck he didn't take out more people.

Translation: We do not want to get sued by Dunn's family, the passenger's family, the Jackass crew that have an army of high prices attorneys, and lose out liquor license!!!!!!!!!!!!!
