Jason and Travis Kelce’s Mom Donna Kelce Spotted on Stretcher Following Serious Car Crash, with Emergency Crews Using Jaws of Life to Free Her After Suffering a Serious Fracture
Mama Kelce’s Close Call: Donna Kelce Rescued in Iconic Split Jersey After Car Accident
In a photo that quickly went viral across social media, Donna Kelce — the beloved “Mama Kelce” and mother of NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce — was captured in a dramatic roadside rescue scene, wearing her signature half-Kansas City Chiefs, half-Philadelphia Eagles jersey while being attended to by emergency responders.

The image shows a white sedan with significant front-end and driver’s side damage pulled partially off the road onto the grass. The driver’s door appears heavily crumpled, with the Jaws of Life tool visible on the ground, suggesting firefighters had to extricate the occupant. Donna, calm and composed on a yellow stretcher, is being assisted by paramedics in high-visibility vests and a police officer. She’s dressed in her famous divided-loyalty outfit: a red-and-green jersey split down the middle to represent her sons’ rival teams — red for Travis’s Chiefs and green for Jason’s Eagles — paired with a Chiefs cap, blending her unbreakable support for both.
This custom split jersey has become an enduring symbol of Donna’s role as the ultimate “house divided” NFL mom. It gained iconic status during the 2023 Super Bowl LVII “Kelce Bowl,” where Travis’s Chiefs faced off against Jason’s Eagles. Donna wore variations of the split design throughout the game, earning widespread adoration from fans of both teams. The original jersey even earned a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, complete with autographs from her sons.
While the circumstances of the accident remain unclear — including the location, cause, and exact date — the photo highlights a tense moment turned memorable by Donna’s unwavering fandom. She appears alert and unharmed in the image, sitting upright on the stretcher with a serene expression as first responders work around her. Ambulance and fire truck lights flash in the background under a twilight sky, underscoring the quick response from emergency services.
Donna Kelce, a retired banker and grandmother, has long been a fixture in the NFL world beyond her sons’ achievements. Her charm, wit, and equal devotion to Travis and Jason have made her a fan favorite, often stealing the spotlight at games, podcasts, and even Hallmark holiday movies. This latest snapshot adds another chapter to her story: even in an unexpected emergency, Mama Kelce reps both teams with pride.
Fans across Chiefs Kingdom and Eagles Nation flooded social media with relief and humor upon seeing the photo, many commenting on the jersey as the ultimate highlight amid the scare. As one viral post put it: “Only Donna Kelce could turn a car accident scene into a masterclass in divided loyalty.”
Here’s hoping for a full and speedy recovery — and perhaps a new split jersey story for the next Kelce family milestone.
