Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr.’s fiancée, Teesa Mpagi, rushed to help a pedestrian who was struck by a car in Los Angeles on Saturday, according to the team. The incident occurred in front of the friends-and-family bus transporting attendees to the Fanatics Flag Football Classic at BMO Stadium.
As the bus was en route to the event, a vehicle reportedly hit a woman in the vicinity of the stadium, prompting concern among those on board. Witnesses said Mpagi quickly moved to assist the injured pedestrian after the collision, stepping in before emergency personnel arrived. Details on the extent of the pedestrian’s injuries, the circumstances of the collision, and the identities of others involved have not been publicly disclosed.
The Fanatics Flag Football Classic, held at BMO Stadium, drew a mix of NFL figures, friends, and family members, turning the area around the venue into a busy scene on Saturday. The pedestrian was struck near this gathering point, in front of the bus carrying Winfield Jr.’s family and other guests to the event. Mpagi’s response came in the immediate aftermath of the impact, as those nearby reacted to the situation.
Authorities have not released additional information about the incident, including whether any citations were issued or whether an investigation is ongoing. No further official statements have been provided about the condition of the pedestrian, and there have been no detailed public comments from Winfield Jr. or Mpagi regarding the episode.
The Buccaneers safety, a key part of Tampa Bay’s defense, was in Los Angeles as part of the NFL community presence surrounding the Fanatics event. The focus of the day briefly shifted away from the festivities outside BMO Stadium to the unexpected emergency on the street, where Mpagi’s decision to render aid stood out amid the confusion. As of now, no additional updates have been made available on the pedestrian’s status or any follow-up actions related to the incident.
