US comedy stunt television show "Jackass" lost one of its stars when Ryan Dunn, 34, known for his death-defying and often car-related pranks, died in a car accident early Monday, MTV said.

Police said the accident took place around 2:30 am (0630 GMT) in West Goshen Township, Pennsylvania, and that Dunn was probably speeding at the time. An unidentified passenger was also killed.

Ryan Dunn's 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 burst into flames after the crash. It was found off the road and in the woods.

"Speed may have been a contributing factor to the accident," the West Goshen Township Police Department's report read.

"Upon arrival, police located one vehicle off the road and in the woods that was fully engulfed in flames."

"We are devastated by the tragic loss of Ryan Dunn -- a beloved member of the MTV family for more than a decade," said Van Toffler, president of MTV Networks Music/Film Group that broadcast the "Jackass" series that ran from 2000-2002 before spinning off into a successful film franchise.
