John Elway’s longtime agent and friend Jeff Sperbeck dies at 62 after horrific golf-cart accident

Jeff Sperbeck, the agent of NFL legend John Elway, has died at the age of 62 following the horrific golf-cart accident that left him on life support. 

The former quarterback’s longtime agent and close friend fell off the back of a golf cart, which was being driven by Elway, on Saturday afternoon.

Sperbeck had been rushed to a trauma unit and placed on life support but doctors had indicated that there was ‘no hope’ he would make a recovery after suffering a severe brain injury. 

He succumbed to his injuries at 1:10am local time Wednesday morning, four days after the accident occurred, according to TMZ. 

Sperbeck and Elway were traveling on the vehicle with their wives after attending an after-party at Stagecoach music festival in California. It later emerged that the Denver Broncos icon had been the one operating the cart at the time of the accident. 

Police reportedly did not respond to the scene Saturday night, but Riverside County Sheriff’s Office was later made aware of the incident on Monday and has launched an investigation, local news channel, KESQ, reported.

However, there is no indication that Elway was driving negligently and is not being accused of any wrongdoing at this time.
