North Carolina Car Accident Bloggers Weigh in on the Ryan Dunn Tragedy
Bloggers, pundits, and commentators across the web who follow North Carolina car, truck, and motorcycle accident news last week turned their attention north to Pennsylvania, where Jackass co-star Ryan Dunn along with 30-year-old Zachary Hartwell died in a suburban Pennsylvania called West Chester when Dunn drove his 2007 Porsche off the road and into the woods, where it exploded in a fiery crash. Initial estimates suggest that the car had been travelling upwards of 130 miles per hour, and the photo taken shortly thereafter of the rubble reveal that the Porsche had been burned beyond recognition.
North Carolina car accident community sent out its condolences to the Jackass star, a daredevil known for stunts like diving into a tank of raw sewage, inserting a toy car into his rectum for a prank for 2002’s “Jackass: The Movie” and doing other crunch worthy stunts. The AP described the accident in a vivid detail: “The force of the impact shattered the vehicle into several twisted and blackened pieces, leaving the Porsche 911 GT3 unrecognizable except for a door that was thrown from the crash and not incinerated. A 100-foot-long tire skid marked where the car left the roadway.”
Movie Reviewer Robert Ebert got into the mix when he tweeted about the Jackass star “friends don’t let jackasses drink and drive.” The backlash against Ebert was immediate and severe. Blogger Perez Hilton, for one, said that “We understand what he’s trying to say, but still – this is extremely insensitive!” Bam Margera tweeted a close friend and colleague of Dunn’s, released an obscenity-laden series of tweets directed at Ebert, concluding “I’ve just lost my best friend. I have been crying hysterical for full day and…Robert Ebert has the gall to put in his two cents.”
