Jerry Jones’ kids involved in freak car crash outside stadium before 49ers game: report

Members of Jerry Jones’ family were injured after a freak car accident outside Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, prior to Sunday night’s game between the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers.

The Athletic reported that the “second vehicle in the Jones Family caravan” was struck by a “rising barricade” outside the stadium.

In the car were Jerry’s daughter, Charlotte Jones Anderson, his son, Jerry Jones Jr., and Charlotte’s son, Shy Anderson Jr.

The report added that Charlotte and Jerry Jr. were evaluated by the Cowboys medical staff at the stadium and were able to move into the visiting owners’ suite before the game.

That evaluation reportedly revealed that Charlotte may have suffered a rib injury from the accident, while Jerry Jr. had a head injury. the Jones family told The Athletic.

The Jones family is usually seen at every game during the Cowboys’ season, traveling around all day to watch their team in action, regardless of the day of the week.

Charlotte Jones serves as executive vice president and chief brand officer of the Cowboys, while also being the first woman to chair the NFL Foundation, which is responsible for philanthropic efforts across sports.

Jones Jr. is the Chief Sales and Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President of the Cowboys.

All three of Jones’ children co-own the franchise, with Stephen Jones serving as Chief Operating Officer.

The Jones family headed to the Bay Area hoping Dak Prescott and the Cowboys would do better than last season at Levi’s Stadium, a 42-10 loss to the 49ers on Oct. 8, 2023.

The Cowboys are 3-3 on the year after being eliminated by the Detroit Lions two weeks ago before entering their bye week.

With the Washington Commanders at 6-2 and the Philadelphia Eagles at 5-2, the Cowboys know they have to keep pace if they want to challenge for the NFC East title, which they won in 2023.
