Dallas Cowboys & Ezekiel Elliott Accused Of Trying To Cover Up Car Crash, Sued For $20 Million

Cowboys star running back, Ezekiel Elliott is reportedly being sued for an alleged conspiracy in connection to the cover-up of an 2017 traffic accident that would have kept the star back sidelined from a crucial NFL playoff game. Just days prior to the Cowboys divisional playoff game against the Green Bay Packers in January of 2017, Zeke was found at fault after slamming into a BMW 750 driven by a man by the name of Ronnie Hill. Zeke reportedly caused more that $30,000 worth of damage to Hill’s vehicle.

Hill claimed the NFL star was running late to practice and ran through a red light,causing more than $33,000 in damage to his vehicle. Hill says the accident resulted in him suffering serious and permanent. Hill says the accident was so intense that a tow truck was needed to pull the two cars apart.

The collision was described as a “minor vehicle crash” by the Frisco Police at the time and Elliott provided a positive update to fans on Twitter following the accident. He wrote on the same day,

“I’m good. I’ve been in bigger collisions. Lol”

Fast forward to this week and Hill is suing, alleging that the Dallas Cowboys nor Zeke paid for the damages. In the lawsuit, Hill accuses the Frisco Police Dept. of trying to to cover up the severity of the accident to assure that Elliott’s health would not be placed in question before their playoff game. The suit claims that if the NFL player was examined, he would have been placed on concussion protocol and would not have been able to play in the Dallas Cowboys upcoming playoff game.

He is suing for $20 million in damages.
