Report: Ezekiel Elliott Being Sued for $1 Million After 2017 Car Crash

A man injured in a 2017 car crash is reportedly suing Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott for over $1 million in damages, according to Dallas-Fort Worth's NBC 5.

Ronnie Barnard Hill filed the lawsuit on Thursday, reports NBC 5. Hill's BMW was totaled in the accident, which left him with "serious, life-altering injuries."

Elliott "accidentally ran a red light" on Jan. 11, 2017, and hit Hill's automobile on the passenger's side. Multiple air bags went off in Elliott's vehicle but none deployed in Hill's. Both vehicles were towed from the scene.

The crash was initially described as a fender bender.
