Some people at the bar said he was "wasted" when he left. And of course the bar employees, fearing lawsuits, said he "was fine". They do know he had at least three beers and three shots. Judging from the skidmarks on the road where he went off, he was doing at least 100MPH. They are still trying to figure out who his passenger was. I am hoping it wasn't some poor girl that agreed to go home with him because of who he was. Just a sad scene all around.
Very sad. Dunn, along with Knoxville, both stood out to me from the bunch as not just pranksters but guys with good comedic timing and instincts. Ryan was a funny dude.
Damn shame. Even more so is that this happens MANY times every day. Only a person's celebrity status deems the story media worthy. It makes you stop and think how delicate life is.
On a side note (deep in the back of my mind) I always thought one of them would die on screen in one of their "staged" stunts.
Life doesn't come with a script or medical staff always 20 feet away though does it?
The passengers name was Zachary Hartwell, 30, Iraq war vet, just married and had a small part in Bam Margera's movie Minghags as the "Agro Trailer Park Guy".
Police now estimate that the car was doing in excess of 110MPH when it missed a turn in the road, flipped over the guard rail, hit a tree, ripped into three pieces and burst into flames. The only identifiable piece was the drivers side door that got thrown clear. It could be that Ryan wasn't even driving, but I kind of doubt that he would let anyone drive his $100,000 dollar Porsche.
