California authorities say the death of Jeff Sperbeck in a golf cart accident appears to be a horrific accident.

Sperbeck died on Wednesday after sustaining a traumatic head injury from falling out of a golf cart that Elway was driving at The Madison Club in La Quinta, Calif., during the Stagecoach music festival. He was taken to a local hospital and put on life support and ultimately died from his injuries.

John Elway has reportedly secured the services of a high-powered Denver attorney who has a history of representing NFL stars
