Actor Ryan Dunn, a star of the Jackass movie franchise, died early Monday when the 2007 Porsche he was driving careened off a highway and burst into flames. He was 34.

An unidentified passenger also died in the crash at 2:38 a.m. local time.

Police in West Goshen Township, a western suburb of Philadelphia, said they found the car off the road in a wooded area. They said it was "fully engulfed in flames."

According to the West Goshen Police Department, Dunn's 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 went off the road in West Goshen and was in flames. An unidentified passenger was also in the car. Dunn and the passenger died around 3 a.m. as a result of their injuries from accident. Excessive speed may have a contributing factor in the accident, police said.

Shortly before the accident, Dunn posted a photo to his Twitter account at 1 a.m. which apparently showed him drinking with friends.

The daredevil actor, appeared in all three "Jackass" films, also starred in Haggard: The Movie, in which he played himself and even ventured outside the wild antics in projects including NBC’s Law & Order: SVU and the straight-to-DVD film Blonde Ambition, starring Jessica Simpson.
