Police report:

The Delaware State Police are investigating a fatal accident that occurred in Laurel late yesterday afternoon that resulted in the deaths of two people.

On January 17, 2023, at approximately 5:09 p.m., a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 was traveling westbound on Laurel Road just west of Goose Nest Road. At the same time, a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 was traveling eastbound on Laurel Road in the same vicinity. For unknown reasons, the driver of the Silverado 1500 pickup truck failed to remain in her lane, crossed the center line, and entered the eastbound lane of Laurel Road, directly into the path of the Silverado 2500. This resulted in a head-on collision between the two pickup trucks in the eastbound lane.


The driver of the Silverado 1500, identified as 27-year-old Lillyanne Ternahan of Frankford, Delaware, was wearing her seatbelt. The driver of the Silverado 2500, identified as 38-year-old Jamin Pugh of Laurel, Delaware, was not wearing his seatbelt. Both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene. The two passengers in Pugh’s pickup truck, identified as his 12-year-old daughter and 9-year-old daughter, were both properly restrained. Both girls were taken by ambulance to an area hospital and were admitted in critical condition.

I ain't trynna theorize but sounds like the lady was DUI. I think I read tweet that there wasn't a deer carcass or anything on the road to indicate that being the reason.
 
Jay Briscoe's wife Ashley announced this morning that two of their daughters were severely injured in the car accident that took Jay Briscoe's life yesterday.

On her Facebook page, Ashley wrote:

"We need prayers! Gracie is on her way into surgery on her back. Jamin would want the whole world praying for his little girl. WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER!! Pray for the doctors and everyone working on her! Pray for her precious legs to move again! Pray for Jayleigh who has some pretty serious injuries, but is stable and resting! Pray for Gannon waiting at home! Pray for strength for all of us! We have a long long road ahead of us!"
hopefully the wrestling community come together & at the very least & pay for this man funeral expenses.
 


There’s a reason why AEW Dynamite didn’t include a bigger tribute to Briscoe. Per Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer, WarnerMedia would not allow it to happen:

“[The Briscoes] were signed by Tony Khan, and he was unable to get them on television. If you watched [AEW Dynamite] and you were expecting something, and I know a lot of people were, something akin to the Brodie Lee show, and obviously that didn’t happen....there was not any kind of big tribute because they were not allowed by WarnerMedia to do one.”
“So they filmed a one hour show in Fresno tonight that will be on Honor Club. They will be doing another tribute show which will be the first, when they finally do the Ring of Honor television show, the first show will feature a lot of Jay matches. And the tribute show [taped on Jan. 18] will as well when it’s all put together. I’m not sure what day it will be out, but there will be another one.”
“And then Supercard of Honor, there will also be kind of like a memorial to Jay on that show, or something to honor Jay at the Supercard of Honor show in Los Angeles in late March.”
Meltzer’s claim is consistent with rumorsfrom earlier this year that WarnerMedia would not allow AEW to put The Briscoes on television due to Jay Briscoe’s past homophobic tweets. Briscoe issued multiple apologies for those tweets. Meltzer adds that pretty much everybody in wrestling believes Briscoe was genuinely remorseful for his behavior and put in the time and effort to learn from his mistakes.
