WWE legend Jim Ross’ wife, Jan Ross, died Wednesday night after sustaining injuries in a Vespa accident. She was 55.
The former WWE announcer and executive tweeted Tuesday: “My wife Jan, my little angel, was hit while riding her Vespa & has multiple skull fractures. She’s in surgery now. We need a miracle.”
Unfortunately, the Ross family did not get one.
“A priest gave my wife Jan her last rites tonight,” the man known as J.R. posted on Twitter late Wednesday. “My little Angel is gone.”
Here are some of his latest tweets and RTs:
