Patrick and Brittany Mahomes Critically Injured in ATV Crash with Deer After Kansas City Charity Gala
Kansas City, MO – In a shocking turn of events, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, were critically injured in an ATV accident involving a deer on the outskirts of Kansas City late Saturday night, May 24, 2025. The incident occurred shortly after the couple attended a high-profile charity gala for the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation, leaving the community and fans reeling as they await updates on the couple’s condition.

A Night of Celebration Turns Tragic
The evening began with celebration as Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, both 29, attended their foundation’s charity gala in Kansas City, an event aimed at raising funds to improve the lives of children through health, wellness, and community initiatives. The couple, known for their philanthropy and vibrant presence both on and off the field, were in high spirits, mingling with attendees and supporting a cause close to their hearts. The gala, a continuation of their foundation’s efforts that also included a recent Las Vegas event from May 14-16, 2025, was described as a success, with the couple showcasing their commitment to giving back.
However, the night took a devastating turn when the couple, reportedly riding an ATV on a rural road near Kansas City, collided with a deer. According to preliminary reports from local authorities, the accident occurred around 11:30 PM WAT, when the deer darted into the path of the ATV, leaving Patrick, who was driving, with little time to react. The impact caused the vehicle to veer off the road, resulting in critical injuries to both Patrick and Brittany.
Emergency Response and Community Concern
Emergency services were dispatched immediately to the scene, where first responders found the couple in critical condition. They were airlifted to a nearby trauma center in Kansas City, where medical teams are working tirelessly to stabilize them. Details about the extent of their injuries remain limited, as the hospital has not released an official statement, citing privacy concerns. The Kansas City Chiefs organization issued a brief statement expressing their support: “Our thoughts are with Patrick, Brittany, and their family during this difficult time. We ask for privacy and respect as they focus on recovery.”
The Mahomes family, including Patrick’s mother, Randi Mahomes, and brother, Jackson Mahomes, have not yet commented publicly on the incident. However, sources close to the family indicate they are devastated and have gathered at the hospital to support the couple. The news comes at a particularly challenging time for the Mahomes family, who recently faced personal heartbreak with Patrick’s grandfather being placed in hospice care in January 2025.
A Community in Shock
The accident has sent shockwaves through Kansas City and the broader NFL community, where Patrick Mahomes is a beloved figure, not only for his on-field heroics as a three-time Super Bowl champion but also for his off-field contributions. The couple’s foundation, 15 and the Mahomies, established in 2019, has made significant impacts, supporting initiatives for children’s health and wellness. Brittany, a co-owner of the Kansas City Current women’s soccer team and a former professional athlete herself, has been a visible supporter of Patrick’s career and a prominent figure in the Kansas City community.
Fans and fellow athletes have taken to social media to express their concern and prayers for the couple’s recovery. Posts on X reflect the outpouring of support, with messages like, “Praying for Patrick and Brittany—hoping for a miracle for our Chiefs family,” capturing the sentiment of a community holding its breath. The incident has also sparked discussions about ATV safety, particularly in rural areas where wildlife encounters are common.
A Growing Family Facing Adversity
The crash adds a layer of tragedy to what has been a bittersweet year for the Mahomes family. In January 2025, Patrick and Brittany welcomed their third child, daughter Golden Raye Mahomes, joining their daughter Sterling Skye, 4, and son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon III, 2. The couple has openly shared their joy in expanding their family, with Brittany recently posting about their customized nursery for Golden. However, the timing of the accident, just months after this milestone, has heightened the emotional weight of the situation.
Patrick, who led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl appearance in February 2025, where they fell to the Philadelphia Eagles, has been in the midst of offseason preparations, including expressing interest in playing flag football for Team USA at the 2028 Olympics. Brittany, meanwhile, has been focusing on her wellness journey and business ventures, including her role with the Kansas City Current and a recent WHOOP campaign alongside Patrick. Their active public life and close-knit family dynamic have made them relatable figures to fans, amplifying the impact of this tragedy.
Awaiting Updates and Reflecting on Safety
As the Kansas City community and fans worldwide await further updates on Patrick and Brittany’s condition, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictability of life, even for those in the public eye. Authorities are investigating the crash, with early indications suggesting that the deer’s sudden appearance was the primary factor. No official reports have indicated whether speed or other factors contributed to the accident.
The Mahomes’ accident underscores the dangers of ATV use, particularly in areas with wildlife. Local officials have urged residents to exercise caution, recommending helmets, adherence to speed limits, and awareness of surroundings, especially at night. As the investigation continues, the focus remains on the couple’s recovery and the hope that they can return to their family and community soon.
A Call for Support
The Kansas City Chiefs, the NFL, and fans across the globe are rallying around Patrick and Brittany Mahomes during this critical time. The couple’s contributions to the sport, their philanthropy, and their dedication to their family have left an indelible mark, making this incident all the more poignant. As updates emerge, the hope is for positive news regarding their recovery, with the community standing united in support of two of its most cherished figures.
For now, the Mahomes family asks for privacy and prayers as they navigate this challenging chapter. The 15 and the Mahomies Foundation has announced that it will continue its planned initiatives, with representatives stepping in to ensure the couple’s charitable vision endures despite their current circumstances.
