Both Dunn, who had turned 34 nine days prior, and 30 year old Hartwell were killed in the crash. Hours before the crash, Dunn had posted a photo to his Twitter account of himself and Hartwell drinking at the bar. He was identified in the police report as the vehicle's driver, and a subsequent toxicology report showed a blood alcohol content of 0.196% – more than twice the state's legal limit of 0.08%. The police report stated "speed may have been a contributing factor in the crash"

Prior to the drunk driving crash that resulted in his death, Dunn had been convicted for driving under the influence of alcohol, resulting in him completing a treatment program as part of his sentence. "In 2005, Dunn was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and entered a first offender program that allowed him to clear his record after a certain period of good behavior," according to Patrick Carmody, Chester County Assistant District Attorney.

In August 2012, the parents of Zachary Hartwell filed a civil suit in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, naming the co administrators of Dunn's estate as defendants, along with Barnaby's West Chester. The suit claims negligence and recklessness, as well as wrongful death in the incident that killed Hartwell. The plaintiffs claim that Dunn displayed negligence and recklessness in failing to have his vehicle under adequate and proper control, operating his vehicle under the influence of alcohol, operating his vehicle at an excessive speed and violently veering off a road and into a tree, among other alleged transgressions. They are seeking unspecified punitive and compensatory damages, as well as interest, court costs and "delay damages as the law may allow." Hartwell's parents sought to recover from Dunn's estate the following: the costs of their son's funeral, wages due for his behind the scenes and stunt work on various Jackass projects, the projected loss of income from his premature death, pain and suffering, and other damages, but they did not specify an amount. As of 2024, it is unclear what the resolution of this lawsuit was.
