Here's an AP news report.

Ryan and some friends had been drinking earlier in the night. Ryan and a friend both died in the accident. The friend is listed as 30-year-old Zachary Hartwell of West Chester, Pennsylvania. Though Hartwell was not a member of the "Jackass" crew, he is listed as a production assistant on the second "Jackass" movie and was reportedly a recently married Iraq war veteran.

The car crashed through a guardrail and into the woods, then caught fire. It was smashed into pieces and completely burned, to the point where the only way police were able to identify it was from a door that was thrown off and not incinerated. Ryan was only identified by his tattoos and his hair.

MTV has put together a tribute video of some of Ryan's best moments from Jackass.
