Lawsuit Claims Cowboys, Police Conspired to Cover-Up Ezekiel Elliott Car Crash

A lawsuit was filed against Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott on Tuesday regarding a car crash that occurred in January 2017, according to documents obtained by TMZ.

The suit alleges Elliott and Frisco, Texas PD conspired to "cover up the severity of the accident to assure that Elliott's health would not be placed in question before their playoff game."

Elliott and the Cowboys lost to the Packers in the NFC divisional round just four days after the crash with Dallas resident Ronnie Hill.

The suit–filed by attorney Larry Friedman–claims Cowboys RB coach Gary Brown told Hill the Cowboys will "take care of everything," shortly after the accident.
