Dallas Cowboy Ex Kelvin Joseph Charged In Fatal Highway Crash
Dallas Cowboy Ex Kelvin Joseph Charged In Fatal Highway Crash originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FRISCO - Former Dallas Cowboys cornerback Kelvin Joseph Jr. was arrested and charged following a fatal highway crash, sources confirmed to ABC broadcast affiliate WFAA in Dallas. The accident occurred Saturday morning on U.S. Highway 75 near Richardson, Texas, a suburb within the greater Dallas area. Advertisement According to police, a 27-year old woman named Cody Morris was riding a motorcycle and died in the crash that shut down northbound lanes on U.S. Highway 75 more more than three hours. Richardson police responded to the crash just before 5 a.m. where only one vehicle was present at the scene. A call that was later confirmed to be from the former Cowboy came in around 5:39 a.m., informing authorities that he had been involved in a crash with a motorcycle. Police reported observing signs of intoxication when speaking to Joseph who was arrested and charged with DWI and collision involving personal injury or death, according to WFAA. Joseph, a current member of the DC Defenders of the UFL, was selected by the Cowboys in Round 2 of the 2021 NFL Draft. He spent his first two seasons in the NFL with the team before bouncing around several organizations from 2023 to 2024. Advertisement He played for a total of 26 games for the Cowboys, never finding a place on the depth chart as off-the-field issues added distractions from the start. Joseph was cleared of any involvement in a shooting that took place in Dallas in March of 2022. He eventually landed with the Defenders this spring, playing nine games with the team. The UFL nor the Defenders have yet to comment on the situation.
