FRISCO (105.3 THE FAN) - The Dallas Cowboys have been added to a lawsuit filed by a man who was driving the car involved in a crash with Zeke Elliott two years ago.
Ronnie Hill claims the team and Frisco police conspired to minimize the severity of the crash so that Elliott would not have to go to the hospital and, perhaps, go through concussion testing.
Hill's lawyer claims the team worried Elliott would have to sit out the upcoming playoff game with the Packers.
Yesterday, Frisco police put out a statement denying any such thing.
"The Frisco Police Department responded to and investigated the January 11, 2017 crash involving Mr. Elliott and Mr. Hill according to department policies and procedures. The petition alleges on “information and belief” that the Frisco Police Department “conspired” with the Dallas Cowboys to “cover up the severity of the crash.” This allegation is false."
The Cowboys are not commenting on the matter.
