Ex-Dallas Cowboys Cornerback Faces $10M Wrongful Death Lawsuit After Fatal Crash

Former Dallas Cowboys cornerback Kelvin Joseph is facing serious legal consequences after a fatal crash in Richardson, Texas, in which 27-year-old Cody Morris, a mother of two, was killed while riding her motorcycle. Joseph, who showed signs of intoxication, was charged with driving while intoxicated and a felony for collision involving death. The family of Morris has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Joseph and two Dallas County establishments, Dive on 75 and The Lodge, alleging they served him alcohol to the point of visible intoxication before the crash. The lawsuit seeks over $10 million in damages for pain, mental anguish, and other expenses and accuses Joseph of negligence, including distracted and impaired driving. According to police reports, Joseph left the scene and waited nearly 40 minutes before calling 911, failing to render aid to Morris. This incident adds to Joseph's previous legal troubles, and his NFL career has since declined, with stints on several teams before leaving the league.
