Running back for The Ohio State University, Ezekiel Elliot, is reportedly unhurt after being involved in a car accident on Sunday, December 27th.

The accident occurred in Columbus, Ohio, when Elliot reportedly told police that a rain puddle caused his vehicle to hydroplane, resulting in him losing control of the automobile and collide with another car that was carrying two people.

Elliot survived the accident unharmed, though one of the people who was in the other car experienced a small injury, but was not hospitalized.

TMZ reports that Elliott was cited for driving under a suspended license, not having an operator’s incense, and failure to control.
