Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones taken to hospital following 'minor' car accident

DALLAS — Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was taken to a local hospital after a car accident Wednesday night, a person with knowledge of the incident confirmed to USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly disclose the information.

The accident was “minor,” the person said, adding that the hospital visit was a “precautionary measure” and Jones was released later that night.

WFAA-TV, Dallas’ ABC station, reported that Jones' injuries “aren’t serious” after an accident that occurred around 8:08 p.m. on a stormy Dallas night. Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones told The Dallas Morning News his father was “all good.”

Jones, who is 79 years old, also serves as general manager and led the team’s draft efforts last weekend from club headquarters at The Star.
