RIP Ryan Dunn

I just hope the accident knocked him out before the fire got him. I don't feel sorry for those that drive horribly drunk (as reported about this). Not that anyone deserves to die. Gladly he didn't take out some innocent person that just happened to be driving. Sorry if that seems offensive. Celebrity or not.

I agree 110%

In fact, fenderhutz, near you: my girlfriend and I have been almost run off the road/smashed into multiple times on rt340 and rt230 on our way to and from Shepherdstown to Frederick.

He did have a passenger :hmm:. Otherwise I mostly have to agree with this. Sucks that he made what appears to be a poor decision with such dire consequences.

You can thank a few things for that. Drunk gamblers, drunk/distracted college kids, and out of state people driving the roads too fast.

I actually live on 230. People drive 60-75 MPH (45 MPH zone) on that road.

EDIT: and the worst of it all I have seen? There were two deaf girls in a car in front of me one day and they were trying to have a conversation, I counted almost 4 head on collisions from her not having her hands on the wheel.

Agree a million percent.

After losing my nephew a year and a half ago to a drunk driver, it's hard for me to muster sympathy for a guy that gets loaded and gets behind the wheel. Kinda makes me think his show was appropriately named. Thank God he didn't kill anyone else.
 
Sad news, for Dunn but more so for the passenger in the car that was also killed. Always was a Jackass/Viva la Bam fan. It's things like this that make me not want to f**k with drinking and driving. I always make sure I have a DD if I'm going out drinking. To me it's not worth it to put myself and other innocent people at risk.
