Arlington, Texas: Vikings Fan Injured in Hit-and-Run Near AT&T Stadium

Arlington, Texas – A Minnesota Vikings fan sustained a spinal fracture in a hit-and-run incident outside AT&T Stadium following the Dallas Cowboys game on Sunday night, Arlington police reported.

Incident Details

At approximately 11:15 p.m. on Sunday, Jordan Boll, a 24-year-old from Minnesota, was struck by a dark-colored pickup truck in Lot B of the stadium’s parking area. Boll and his friends were near their rental car when they heard an engine revving, followed by the collision. Boll lost consciousness and was later diagnosed with a spinal fracture and a scrape along his side. He was wearing an Adrian Peterson jersey at the time of the incident. Paramedics had to cut the jersey to provide medical care. Witnesses reported that the pickup truck was driving erratically through the parking lot before the collision and did not stop to render aid. Instead, the vehicle exited the parking lot without any occupants assisting Boll. A friend of Boll’s, who remained at the scene, provided a license plate number to 911 dispatchers. Boll has since returned to Minnesota and intends to press charges if the driver is identified.

Investigation and Legal Context

Arlington police are actively investigating the incident, working to identify the driver of the dark-colored pickup truck using the license plate number provided by the witness. Under Texas law, a driver involved in a crash that causes serious bodily injury is required to stop and render aid. Failing to do so can result in felony charges: leaving the scene of a hit-and-run that causes serious injury is classified as a third-degree felony, and leaving after a crash that results in death is a second-degree felony. Determination of charges will depend on the outcome of the police investigation and the strength of the evidence gathered.

Background Context

AT&T Stadium, located in Arlington, Texas, is the home venue for the Dallas Cowboys and hosts various events including NFL games and concerts. The stadium’s parking lots, such as Lot B, are typically filled with fans during events, making pedestrian safety a significant concern. This incident highlights the importance of both drivers and pedestrians exercising caution in crowded parking areas to prevent accidents.

Call for Public Assistance

Arlington police are urging anyone who was in Lot B and witnessed the collision or who recorded video near the time of the incident to come forward. Individuals with information or footage that might help identify the vehicle are encouraged to contact the Arlington Police Department’s records or traffic units through the channels listed on their contact page, which includes a non-emergency phone number and online reporting options.

Related Incidents

Incidents involving fans being injured near stadiums are not uncommon. For example, in 2015, four individuals were arrested in connection with the assault of a Minnesota Vikings fan outside Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, following a game between the Vikings and the San Francisco 49ers. The attack was captured on cellphone video and led to felony assault charges against the suspects.

Conclusion

The Arlington hit-and-run incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers in stadium parking areas and the importance of adhering to traffic laws and safety protocols. The Arlington Police Department continues to investigate the case and seeks public assistance to bring the responsible individual to justice.
