Ohio State's Ezekiel Elliott cited for suspended license after car crash
Prior to Ohio State's flight to Arizona for the Fiesta Bowl, running back Ezekiel Elliott was involved in a car crash and was cited for driving with a suspended license, Columbus police told ESPN.
He was also cited for not having an operator's license and failure to control, according to Craig Calcaterra of NBCSports.com. Elliott's car hydroplaned and caused minor injuries to another driver, Calcaterra said.
The accident happened on a freeway close to Ohio State's campus.
Elliott wasn't injured, and his status for the Fiesta Bowl remains unchanged, according to a school spokesman.
The matchup against the Irish will be his final game as a Buckeye, as he's headed for the NFL draft in the spring.
The junior put up 1,672 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2015.
The Fiesta Bowl kicks off at 1 p.m. ET on Jan. 1.
