The wrestling world is in mourning today after it was announced by legendary announcer Jim Ross that his wife Jan had sadly passed away, two days after suffering severe brain injuries in a road accident.

Ross, 55, had been thrown from her Vespa scooter after a vehicle driven by a 17-year-old collided with her. She suffered several fractures of the skull and severe swelling of the brain as a result of the accident.



JR took to Twitter to inform his followers of the accident, saying that he was praying for a miracle. Unfortunately, after two days on life support, the miracle didn't arrive and Ross announced Jan's passing, last night.



JR shared several pictures of Jan and himself in the hours following the announcement as the wrestling world rallied around the beloved Hall of Fame announcer. Jan was likewise equally beloved by the wrestling community, as the almost innumerable amount of tributes that poured in immediately after the announcement of her passing shows.












Jim and Jan married in 1993 after being introduced by Ric Flair.

Everyone at LADbible Group sends their most heartfelt condolences to JR and his family at such a difficult time. Rest In Peace, Jan.
