Former Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway was behind the wheel of a golf cart when his longtime agent and business partner, Jeff Sperbeck, fell off and hit his head, resulting in life-threatening injuries according to TMZ. 

Sperbeck is currently in the hospital on life support.

The two were golfing at the Madison Club in California on Saturday when Sperbeck fell off the back of the moving golf cart, rolled over and then hit his head on the concrete.

Elway called 911, and when paramedics arrived, Sperbeck, 61, was reportedly unconscious but still breathing and suffered a traumatic brain injury.

Sperbeck was an NFL agent for Elway and over 100 other football players throughout his career. He and Elway opened a winery together in Napa Valley recently.

Elway has not commented on the incident.
