As per Clarence Hill Jr. from the Star-Telegram, Jerry Jones opens up saying, “I was not injured. I was shaken up quite a bit. Had I been the passenger, I could have gotten hurt in this deal. But I got shook up a little. Had a couple of shins that were scraped up. And a knot on my head. So that is why I went to the hospital.”

However, the person in the other gray Hyundai Sonata, the one who T-boned him, is suing the Cowboys’ owner.

According to the Dallas police report via Sports Illustrated, the DoorDash driver had to turn left onto Wolf Street. The vehicle made a wrong turn from the far right lane after slowing down at the crossroads, placing him on Jones’s route.

The Cowboys President/GM proclaims, “I want to be real clear: He wouldn’t be sitting here today if I didn’t think he was the man to lead this team to a Super Bowl. He would not be, and I have choices. So that’s not meant to be insensitive to anybody. That’s a fact.”
