SAD NEWS: Deion Sanders and Ex-Wife Involved in Serious Car Accident During Weekend Reunion

Tragedy struck over the weekend as Colorado Buffaloes head football coach Deion Sanders and his ex-wife, Pilar Sanders, were involved in a serious car accident during a family reunion event. The Sanders family released a statement earlier today confirming the incident and sharing details about their current condition.

According to the family’s spokesperson, the accident occurred late Saturday evening as Deion and Pilar were leaving a private gathering near Dallas, Texas. The vehicle they were traveling in was struck by another car that reportedly ran a red light at a busy intersection.

Both Deion and Pilar were rushed to a nearby hospital. Initial reports indicated non-life-threatening injuries, but the family later revealed that Deion suffered several fractures in his lower leg, while Pilar sustained a mild concussion and a fractured collarbone. Doctors are closely monitoring Deion’s condition due to his previous health challenges, including circulation issues that led to the amputation of two toes in 2021.

In a brief but emotional message shared through the University of Colorado, Deion Sanders said:

“We thank everyone for their prayers and support during this time. I’m grateful to be alive and to have my family safe. God is still in control.”

The Sanders children, including former NFL player Deion Sanders Jr., also posted messages on social media asking fans to pray for a full and swift recovery.

Coach Sanders, affectionately known as “Coach Prime,” has been a transformative figure for the Colorado football program. His presence and leadership have brought national attention to the Buffaloes, and his absence—however temporary—will undoubtedly be felt across the college football world.

University officials have stated that they are in constant contact with the Sanders family and are offering any support necessary. Assistant coaches will oversee team operations in his absence while he recovers.

As of now, doctors expect both Deion and Pilar to make a full recovery, though Deion’s rehabilitation may take several weeks. More updates are expected in the coming days as the family continues to navigate this difficult moment.
