FRISCO, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – A man who says he was injured in the January 11, 2017 crash with Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott alleges in a lawsuit, the Cowboys and Frisco Police “conspired” to “cover up the severity of the accident” so Elliott would not have to miss a playoff game four days later.

Elliott crash the GMC Yukon he was driving into a BMW 750 driven by Ronnie Hill on his way to Cowboys practice.

The crash happened in the area of Dallas Parkway and Gaylord Parkway, less than a mile from Dallas Cowboys Headquarters.

The plaintiff, Ronnie Hill, claims Elliott was at fault because he was running late to practice and “barreled through a red light” causing more than $33,000 in damage to Hill’s vehicle.

Hill also claims in the lawsuit he was physically injured in the wreck.

He is suing Elliott and the Cowboys for $20 million.

The lawsuit says, “the crash resulted in the two vehicles being wedged together to the extent that a tow-truck was required to pull them apart.”
