It's unclear whether alcohol was involved, though Dunn tweeted a picture of himself drinking with pals late Sunday. Officers believe "speed may have been a contributing factor" in the accident.

"We are devastated by the tragic loss of Ryan Dunn, a beloved member of the MTV family for more than a decade," Van Toffler, President of MTV Networks Music/Films Group tells Us Weekly in a statement.

"He made us all laugh and had the tireless enthusiastic approach to life of your favorite middle school friend. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Ryan's family and friends. The Jackass brotherhood will never be the same."
