News: Jerry Jones was in a car accident *** NO INSULTS OR JOKES ALLOWED ***

[America's Cowboy]

Dam, that is a wicked t-bone hit.............everybody is very lucky to walk away from this.

I will also say that some of the comments I have seen on Twitter and other places wishing Jerry would not have walked away from this are disgusting.

This is a just a game people, nothing more. Now if the fact that the Cowboys have not won a SB in over 25 years makes you so mad that you wish the owner was not here anymore, then maybe you need to take a step back and reevaluate your life and start making some changes.

Exactly, and maybe those saying that should evaluate priorities and what's really important. Sports are fun, but not life.

Dang. I guess the driver of the other car was also ok? Hit right in drivers side door. Was Jerry driving?

Apparently so. Lifted the smaller car off the ground. Seatbelts are the only thing that prevented worse injury.

Say the video..wasn't his fault..the other car was in the far right lane, he make a quick turn left, Jerry was in the middle lane...after turning left, the other car slowed down....

That was pretty awful. It looked to me like Jerry did not use his brakes, but with anti-lock breaks it is hard to tell.

 

[MarcusRock]

This is how you think?

This is how A LOT of people around here think. If they cry CONSPIRACY! in football, you think it doesn't extend to regular life? Pols and media have figured this out and now use it against them while the clueless kneejerks just lap it up like pups.

So I saw the video. It’s a bad accident. Jerry really t-boned that other car. He was driving a nice Mercedes and had to have his seatbelt on. If not he could have been really hurt. Looks like Jerry was going too fast but the other car is making a left hand turn from right lane. Cut right in front of Jerry. Bad accident.

Too fast? What is the speed limit on the piece of road and did you use a radar gun in your assessment? Jeez...

Looks like the nose of Jerry's car was dipping down just prior to the crash, indicating braking.
Slo-mo video, but in real time, I'm guessing he had about 2-3 seconds of reaction time. Hard to put any culpability on Jones.
Maybe about 25 MPH or less at impact.
Damage to the silver car was not a high speed crash.

Actually if you watch closely you can see Jerry's brake lights are on right up to the point of impact and then go off a second after.

I was a claim rep investigating accidents for 27 years.

Looks like the other car would have had the red light as the dashcam car had a red light.

Unless the other driver claims to have had a green turn arrow ?

You must not have watched this very well. They are travelling on a one way street and the guy made a left turn from the right hand lane into Jones' path.

I'd say Jerry's reaction time from visual recognition to braking was about as good as it gets.

It looked to me that the other car was coming out of the intersecting road from Jerry's right?
Could be wrong and it would not be the first time

So glad Mr. Jones is ok. He took a hit pretty hard.

 

[blueblood70]

clearly looks like the other person fault turning in front of him.. hard to tell without seeing the lights but sure looks like the straight traffic were flowing and the other car made an unprotected turn across Jerrys lane..

BTW i still unsure why this is a story ,,i mean car accidents happen every 30 secs im sure but not post worthy, no one died did they?

 

[Praxit]

....wow, really glad Jerry is ok. That was a good smash. If Jerry was in passenger, might of not fared to good.

 

[KJJ]

The driver in the other car got the worst end of it. The impact was directly on the driver side. Lucky they weren’t seriously injured or killed.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Thanks for the video....wow, that's almost happened to me couple of times. I would guess Jerry wasn't driving, but who knows..

 

[WTtoolman]

I hope Jerry sues the other driver for everything they have. Then we add that money to our salary cap, and do something awesome!! Fingers crossed.

Very odd how a car can make a left turn in front of another car traveling in the same direction.
- That car must have turned left from the right lane.

Any word on if Jerry was driving?
