High School Football Player Loses Leg While Rescuing Mom From Car Accident
Tragedy has struck the life of 15-year-old De’Lon Jackson, a high school football player from Riverdale, Georgia, who had big dreams of reaching the NFL.
After finishing football practice at Charles Drew High School, De’Lon received a distress call from his mother, Raven Simone, who was involved in a serious accident while on her way to pick him up.
Without hesitation, De’Lon rushed to the scene to help his mom, determined to save her. “I’m running… I see what happened. I see the truck that’s in the grass,” Jackson told 11Alive. “My first thought was getting my mom out of the car.” After rescuing her, De’Lon was struck by a car and severely injured, resulting in the amputation of his right leg and injuries to his left leg.
De’Lon’s mother, Raven Simone, described the moment, “I was walking around the back, and you hear a car coming, and as they’re coming, you can hear my car getting smacked. And I turn around and say, ‘Where’s my son?’ And I see him way up in the middle of the street, and his right leg is twisted.”
De’Lon was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, where doctors had to amputate his right leg. His left leg was also injured in the accident. A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to help cover De’Lon’s medical expenses, raising nearly $8,000 of its $100,000 goal.
Despite the life-changing event, De’Lon remains thankful that both he and his mom are alive. His love for his mom remains stronger than ever, saying, “I love her to death. I don’t know what I’d do without her. I don’t know what I’d do.” De’Lon’s dreams of playing in the NFL have changed, but his courage and selflessness in the face of tragedy have inspired many.
The incident is still under investigation, and authorities have yet to release a full report or determine if the driver who hit De’Lon will face charges. De’Lon’s mom is now focused on caring for him and her other children, as he will need additional rehabilitation.

Elon Musk’s $1 Million Giveaway Under DOJ Investigation for Potential Legal Violations
Elon Musk’s recent $1 million giveaway has drawn attention from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), which is reportedly scrutinizing the legality of the contest. This giveaway, widely promoted on social media, promised substantial cash prizes to select followers but has now raised concerns about compliance with federal sweepstakes laws.
