As the Dallas Cowboys were ready to play the San Francisco 49ers, it was meant to be just another typical Sunday for Jerry Jones and his family, a custom of presence and support. Their evening plans were abruptly derailed by a bizarre accident when they arrived at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, for the prime-time match. The family’s customary march to the owner’s suite was interrupted by an unexpected run-in with a rising barricade as the Cowboys wagon neared the stadium gate.
According to reports, the stadium barricade struck a car that was carrying Jones’ daughter, Charlotte Jones Anderson, his son, Jerry Jones Jr., and his grandson, Shy Anderson Jr. An unsettling foreshadowing to what would be a difficult night on the field was created by the incident, which took place in full view of the team entourage.
Medical staff from the Cowboys who were positioned at the stadium promptly assessed Charlotte and Jerry Jr. inside the car. Although they both seemed disturbed, they were able to enter the venue. Jerry Jr. apparently had a minor head injury, and Charlotte reportedly suffered a rib injury. The two showed the typical tenacity of the family by making their way to the visiting owners’ suite despite the spooky beginning to their evening.
