Jerry Jones’ May car crash could’ve been so much worse for him.
The Cowboys owner told cops following the accident that he was not wearing a seat belt when he T-boned a Hyundai. Instead, he had it buckled behind him. In footage obtained by TMZ, Jones also said that he was going about 45 miles per hour and the airbags in his 2013 Lexus deployed.
“You had [the seatbelt] buckled behind you but you weren’t wearing it,” one cop tells Jones in the footage, which has been blurred by police.
“That is correct,” Jones replies. “That is correct.”
The 79-year-old suffered only minor injuries, saying he had a “head bump, chest bump [and] knee bump.”

Jones did not suffer any lingering effects from the crash.
“He just U-[turned],” Jones said. “He just simply U-ed right in front of me. I hit him broadside. I’m so happy he’s not hurt.”
The officer replied by stressing the need for Jones to wear his seatbelt correctly going forward.
“I agree,” the Hall of Famer said.
