Photos: Jackass Star Ryan Dunn Dies in Car Accident

Ryan Dunn, one of the stars of the TV and movie series “Jackass,” was killed early Monday in a single-car accident in Pennsylvania. He was 34 years old. A few hours before his death, Dunn also posted a photo on Twitter of himself drinking with two other men.

A passenger in Dunn’s 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 was also killed, but investigators have not positively identified the body, according to the police report sent to CNN.

Police say the 34-year-old was travelling at around 130mph in a 55mph zone when his Porsche 911 flew off the road at around 2.30am on Monday morning in Pennsylvania, instantly killing him and his passenger, Zachary Hartwell.

A picture has emerged showing Dunn in high spirits whilst he partied at a bar shortly before he crashed. He was there with friends, including Hartwell, and both were reported to be drinking. The manager of Barnaby’s in West Chester, Pennsylvania, confirmed that the photo was taken in his bar Sunday night. The bar is about a mile away from where Dunn was killed in a car crash.

So, basically two drunk assholes got into a car Porsche and luckily managed to only kill themselves instead of innocent bystanders. I’d say that’s a happy ending, but only if footage turns up of Ryan Dunn looking into a camera and saying, “I call this one ‘Natural Selection.’”

Below are Jackas Star Ryan Dunn Car Accident:

2011 Ford Explorer with High Tech GPS

The 2011 Ford Explorer SUV is a good example of how tech is changing the way we drive and what we do while we’re on the road. From innovative seat belts to aided steering, here is a preview of the latest technology coming out of Detroit.

2011 Ford Explorer

2011 Ford Explorer

With the release of 2011 Ford Explorer, the manufacturer is hoping to introduce an eco-friendly yet thrifty version of your typical sports wagon vehicle. However, there is more to this vehicle model than meets the eye. You can get a more detailed look into this particular model by examining the features below.

The new Explorer also includes adjustable terrain-management settings for Normal, Sand, Mud, Snow and Hill, each represented by an icon on the adjustment knob. The system changes the brake pressure, turning controls and other key components to help match driving conditions. The adjustments happen on the fly, which means you can adapt to conditions as quickly as you can turn the knob.

Navigation can use MapQuest, Google Maps or another map system to guide you to your next destination. The GPS also recognizes search needs by topic. For instance, ask for an ice cream shop in Brooklyn and the system will determine where the nearest one is.

Inflatable seat belts and crash prevention technology
Another new feature is inflatable seat belts for the rear seats. The middle of the shoulder belt inflates like an air bag during an accident to help hold passengers in place. The belts were designed to protect both adults and children old enough to wear seat belts.

Your Own Movable Wi-Fi Hot Spot
Ever wish you could get online while riding in a car? Ford is making that possible with a Wi-Fi system that turns your vehicle into a mobile hot spot, and other automakers will undoubtedly follow suit. It works like this: You plug your smart phone into the glove compartment jack and, based on your carrier, the cell phone will enable Wi-Fi throughout the car. Passengers can use an iPad, laptop or other Wi-Fi device to surf the Internet as they ride.

Pricing Details

It has been three years since the previous Ford Explorer was released, so it would be tough to make a rough estimate on the pricing for the 2011 Ford Explorer model now that the manufacturers have not issued an official statement with regards to pricing details. But if one were to examine the features and all other improvements incorporated into this latest model, then experts assume that it will not vary much from the 2008 model’s price. They would go as far as to estimate the price to be somewhere between $27,500 and $32,500.
