A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Rashee Rice, a wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, in relation to a multi-car crash that occurred on March 30 in Dallas. Rice, 23, is facing eight charges, including six counts of collision involving bodily injury, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury, and one count of aggravated assault. The incident took place on U.S. 75, where Rice’s Lamborghini SUV and his Corvette were involved in a collision that injured four people.
According to Rice’s attorney, Royce West, the NFL receiver has admitted to authorities that he was driving the Lamborghini at the time of the crash. West described Rice as a young man who made a mistake and stated that his client would take responsibility for his actions and work towards restoring the lives of those affected.
The Lamborghini involved in the crash was rented by Rice from The Classic Lifestyle, as confirmed by Kyle Coker, an attorney representing the company. Theodore Knox, the driver of the Corvette, is also facing the same charges as Rice.
The crash occurred around 6:30 p.m. local time on 75 northbound when both vehicles were speeding and lost control, resulting in a collision that involved six vehicles. Following the incident, the occupants of the Lamborghini and Corvette fled the scene. The police report revealed the presence of marijuana in both vehicles, along with credit cards, a check, a diamond chain, and a Chiefs playbook. Two individuals were taken to the hospital as a result of the crash.
In a statement, Rice expressed his cooperation with the Dallas police’s investigation and took full responsibility for his involvement in the matter. He sincerely apologized to everyone impacted by the incident. The NFL and the Kansas City Chiefs have stated that they are closely monitoring the situation.
