Mom of Levi Wright, toddler who died driving toy into creek, says she’ll ‘lose sleep over this for eternity’

Levi Wright, a 3-year-old boy from Utah, tragically died after driving his toy tractor into a creek near his family’s home on May 21, 2024. Levi, the son of rodeo star Spencer Wright and his wife Kallie, was hospitalized in critical condition following the accident. The family made the heartbreaking decision to take him off life support on June 2, 2024.

Kallie Wright, Levi’s mother, recently spoke out about the accident, expressing her deep regret and the guilt she feels. She described the layout of their 24-acre property, which includes a creek separating their house from that of Levi’s grandparents. The creek is crossed via a concrete road. Kallie explained that Levi had driven his toy tractor across this road many times before, but on the day of the accident, the water was at its peak and strong enough to push his tractor off the road into the creek.

In her emotional post, Kallie shared that she had told Levi not to drive through the creek or the road and to stay around the house. She expressed that she will “lose sleep over this for eternity” and that the decision to turn away briefly will “haunt her for the rest of her life.” Kallie also shared her firm belief that their stories are written long before they reach this earth and that their Lord will take them when he’s ready.

Levi’s death has sparked an outpouring of support from the community, with a benefit auction set up on his behalf. However, Kallie has also faced hurtful messages blaming her for the accident. She ended her post with verses from the Bible and a prayer that no one should have to experience her nightmare.

Levi’s death is a heartbreaking reminder of the importance of water safety and the need for constant supervision when young children are near water.
