Report: 20M lawsuit claims Cowboys conspired to cover up Ezekiel Elliott car accident

The train wreck that is the never-ending chaos surround Ezekiel Elliott now reportedly involves a $20 million lawsuit against the Dallas Cowboys because of a car accident in 2017.

TMZ reports:

The suit stems from a January 11, 2017 car crash — 4 days before the Cowboys played the Packers in an NFC Divisional Round game — when Zeke slammed a GMC Yukon into a BMW 750 driven by Ronnie Hill on his way to the Cowboys practice facility.

Hill claims Zeke was obviously at fault because the running back was running late to practice and had “barreled through a red light” — causing more than $33,000 in damage to Hill’s vehicle. Hill claims he suffered “serious and permanent” injuries in the wreck.

In his suit, filed by attorney Larry Friedman, Hill claims Dallas Cowboys running backs coach Gary Brown had raced to the scene of the accident and told Hill, “We will take care of everything.”

Frisco Police Dept. told TMZ:

“Both parties to the crash were offered medical attention and both refused. Emergency medical services were not requested by either party. Neither party was treated or transported.”

Elliott, meanwhile, continues his holdout and reportedly is training in Mexico.
