Snow Shoveler Run Over By Husband In Fatal Morris Co. Accident

PEQUANNOCK, NJ — A Pequannock woman died Wednesday morning after her husband accidentally struck her with his pick-up truck as she was shoveling snow, Pequannock Capt. Christopher J. DePuyt told Patch.

Ann Weisse, 67, was shoveling snow at the end of her driveway Thursday morning when her husband, Frank, accidentally hit her backing out, DePuyt said. She was taken to Chilton Medical Center where she was pronounced dead later that morning.

"It's just the worst thing in the world," DePuyt said in describing the accident. "Any fatal accident is sad, but this is very sad."

The Weisses are well known in the township, and have lived there for over 40 years, DePuty said. Frank Weisse owned a business in town, and Ann worked in the area as an accountant.

Frank Weisse will not face charges in the "tragic" accident, DePuyt said.
