It is with great sadness that PWP Nation has to report that Jan Ross, the wife of legendary wrestling commentator Jim Ross, has passed away at the age of 55 years old, due to severe injuries sustained during an accident on late Monday night.
Jan was driving her Vespa scooter without a helmet when she was struck by a teen driver. She suffered multiple skull fractures and brain injuries, then shortly underwent surgery and was in a medically induced coma, as doctors sought to relieve swelling on her brain.
Jim Ross revealed that his wife was on life support and that it was time for her to go.
A Priest gave my wife Jan her last rites tonight. My little Angel is gone. 🙏🙏
