Driver was making improper left turn when hit by Jerry Jones in car crash: police report
The driver whose car was hit by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones last week in Dallas was making an improper left turn that led to the collision, according to a police crash report obtained by NBC.
The report says the driver of the gray Hyundai Sonata was making a delivery for Door Dash on the evening of the crash on May 4. While driving southbound on Harry Hines Boulevard, the delivery driver realized he needed to make a left turn onto Wolf Street, he told police.
The driver slowed down at the intersection, then made an improper left turn from the far right lane, which placed him directly in the path of the black Lexus driven by Jones, NBC station KXAS-TV reported.
The Star-Telegram requested a copy of the Dallas police report but hadn’t received it as of Monday.
Jones, 79, was taken to Parkland Hospital for precautionary reasons but suffered no major injuries and was discharged shortly afterward.
The crash report said the posted speed limit was 35 mph but does not say how fast Jones was driving at the time of impact, according to KXAS-TV. His Lexus hit the driver’s side of the Hyundai, video shows.
In a video recorded from a dash-mounted camera on a witness’ vehicle and released by TMZ, both cars are seen outside a Hyatt hotel after the incident. Jones is seen walking with a slight limp. Jones later shakes hands with another man before making a phone call.
Toward the end of the video, the footage shows the Cowboys owner speaking with Dallas police.
