Details emerge on the car accident

The Delaware State Police released a statement regarding Jay Briscoe’s fatal car accident. They are currently investigating the matter. This wreck took place at around 5:09 PM on Tuesday, and the names of fatalities were confirmed to be Jamin Pugh or Jay Briscoe and Lillyanne Ternahan.

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.
It was also noted in the statement that:
“Alcohol involvement in this crash is unknown. No other vehicles were involved in this collision. The roadway was closed for approximately four hours while the scene was investigated and cleared.”

During his 20+ year wrestling career, Jay Briscoe was most well known for his time in Ring of Honor along with his brother Mark Briscoe. The two brothers were 13-time ROH Tag Team Team Champions that also recently won the titles against from FTR last month at ROH Final Battle. It was a match praised heavily by the wrestling world as one of the best tag team matches ever.

The Briscoes are also in the ROH Hall of Fame that were inducted in the inaugural Hall of Fame that was announced last year. Jay was also a two-time ROH World Champion as well.
