Antoine Winfield Jr.’s Fiancée Leaves Team Bus to Aid Pedestrian Hit by Car in Los Angeles

Her quick response drew praise during a star-filled flag football weekend.

Overview

  • Teesa (Tessa) Mpagi, which multiple outlets said acted Saturday, left a friends-and-family bus to reach a woman struck by a car and then rode in the ambulance to the hospital.
  • The incident occurred on the way to the Fanatics Flag Football Classic at BMO Stadium, a celebrity event that featured Tom Brady and other NFL names.
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter disclosed the account Sunday, and subsequent reports from Heavy, the New York Post, and The Sporting News echoed the core details.
  • Some specifics differ across outlets, including who Mpagi called for support and a claim that EAG Sports staff helped, with the latter attributed to a single report.
  • Authorities have not publicly identified the injured woman or her condition, and coverage notes Mpagi’s own athletic background as a former track standout at Rice and Texas.
