Driver Responsible for Death of Jim Ross’ Wife Has Charges Dropped

Jim Ross today tweeted the unfortunate news that the 17-year-old driver responsible for the death of his wife Jan will walk free without any charges.

As we previously reported, Jan Ross suffered multiple skull fractures when she was struck by a vehicle while driving in her Vespa. She was launched from her vehicle as it caught fire, needing surgery. Despite all efforts, she soon passed away.

The driver- an unnamed 17-year-old has today received no charges as the judge believed the driver had fulfilled his sentence. According to Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet– this was reportedly counseling and an undisclosed amount of community service. The driver reportedly didn’t even lose his drivers license.

More details are unavailable at this time- though due to a minor being involved they may never be released.

In full, Ross had the following to say in his tweet:

“This morning norman judge Steven Stice felt compelled to dismiss vehicular homicide charge against the 17 year old in my wife Jan’s death. The state objected to no avail.

The driver never even lost his drivers license.

Sad world in which we live, folks.”
