'Jackass' star Bam Margera crashes Porsche months after Ryan Dunn's fatal crash

"Jackass" star Bam Margera was shaken but uninjured after a car accident Thursday, just four months after his co-star Ryan Dunn was killed in a fatal car crash.
"A big truck made a wide turn and smashed the whole left side [of his silver Porsche]. I just got the damn thing too," Margera told TMZ about the traffic accident, believed to be near his residence in Pocopson Township, Pa., 30 miles west of Philadelphia.

Dunn, 34, and his passenger, Zachary Hartwell, 30, both died in the accident when Dunn's 2007 Porsche crashed near Pocopson Township, Pa., in the early hours of Monday, June 20.
Dunn's car was found in a wooded area off the road "fully engulfed in flames," and both passengers were killed instantly.
Police who did an accident reconstruction said that Dunn's Porsche might have been traveling as fast as 130 mph when it jumped a guardrail, flew into a ravine and burst into flames.
"I've never lost anybody that I care about. He's my best friend," Margera said this summer about losing his close friend.
