Johnny Bananas Present During Fatal Golf Cart Accident with John Elway

MTV reality star Johnny 'Bananas' Devenanzio was riding with NFL legend John Elway when Elway's longtime agent, Jeff Sperbeck, fatally fell off the back of a golf cart in La Quinta, California. Devenanzio and Sperbeck were standing on the back of the cart, which Elway was driving with his wife seated in front, returning from a Stagecoach music festival event. Multiple sources describe the incident as a 'freak accident,' emphasizing there was no indication of erratic driving, speeding, or alcohol involvement. After Sperbeck fell and suffered traumatic head injuries, Devenanzio attempted to provide first aid and comfort him until paramedics arrived. Sperbeck, a well-known NFL agent and Elway's close friend, died from his injuries days later. Law enforcement and witnesses confirm that no wrongdoing occurred, and the tragedy has deeply affected all involved.
