R1 SAD DEVELOPING NEWS — Eagles Legend Donovan McNabb Was Involved in a Serious Incident While Traveling Home After Supporting the Team
PHILADELPHIA — Former Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb is currently hospitalized after a serious accident late Monday night, just hours after he returned from supporting the Philadelphia Eagles at a weekend event.
According to state police, the crash occurred on I-95 as McNabb was driving home. Investigators say another vehicle lost control and collided with McNabb’s SUV, causing significant damage and prompting an immediate emergency response. Witnesses at the scene reported a violent impact, with debris scattered across multiple lanes.
Paramedics confirmed that McNabb was conscious when first responders arrived. He was transported to a nearby medical center, where doctors say he is in stable condition and undergoing further evaluation.
McNabb’s family released a statement early Monday thanking fans for their support and asking for privacy as he continues to recover. The Philadelphia Eagles organization also responded, calling McNabb “a cornerstone of our franchise’s history” and expressing confidence in his recovery.
Several current Eagles players, many of whom spoke with McNabb earlier in the day at the team gathering, said they were “shaken” by the news. One player noted that McNabb had been in “great spirits” during the event, spending hours with fans and offering encouragement to the team.
Authorities are still working to determine the exact cause of the crash. Weather and traffic conditions at the time of the collision are being reviewed as part of the ongoing investigation.
For now, doctors say McNabb will remain under observation as his condition continues to improve. Further updates are expected in the coming days.
