West Goshen, Pennsylvania — Visitors who came in droves to the stretch of highway where Ryan Dunn's life ended said the deaths of the "Jackass" star and his passenger on Monday serve as a shocking warning that even someone as seemingly immortal as the daredevil couldn't survive the risk of drinking and driving.
"I hope a lot of kids in the community will see what happened to their role model. Maybe this sends a signal that you're not indestructible," said a West Goshen police officer, a father of two teens.
Laraine Livergood of Collegeville brought her three children to the crash site Wednesday night. "It shows what drinking and driving can do," she said.

According to multiple reports, including Fox News and NBC, "Jackass" star Ryan Dunn has died in a car accident.
Based on comments made by April Margera, mother of Dunn's "Jackass" co-star Bam Margera, it appears that Dunn and a passenger were both killed in car accident when his car hit a tree in West Goshen, Pennsylvania sometime between 2:30 and 3 a.m. this morning. The identity of the second victim is still unclear, though Dunn had posted a photo of himself out with friends two hours before his death.
Dunn was just 34 years old.
Dunn rose to fame as part of the "Jackass" crew on MTV, with perhaps his most famous stunt coming in 2002's "Jackass: The Movie" courtesy of a toy car and a great deal of chutzpah. He went on to appear in both sequels and appeared in several projects with Margera, including "Bam's World Domination" on SpikeTV.
