Rashee Rice, a Chiefs receiver, has been given an arrest warrant for his involvement in a multi-vehicle incident in Dallas last month, according to WFAA. Rice’s counsel admitted last week that his client was driving the Lamborghini SUV, which was allegedly racing a Corvette leased in his name.
Rice, 23, is charged with six counts of collision causing bodily injury, one case of collision involving serious bodily injury, and one count of aggravated assault, according to the arrest warrant.
All counts are felonies.
The driver of the Corvette, Theodore Knox, faces the same allegations as Rice. Teddy Knox is listed as a cornerback for SMU’s football team, where Rice played collegiately.
According to WFAA, the Dallas Police Department gives offenders one day to turn themselves in before dispatching police to serve the arrest warrant.
On March 30, the expensive automobiles linked to Rice were speeding down the North Central Expressway when they both lost control. The crash involved four other cars.
According to the police report, all six occupants of the Lamborghini and Corvette departed the scene, leaving many victims behind without exchanging any information or insurance.
Both automobiles contained marijuana, credit cards, a $16,500 check, a diamond chain, and the Chiefs’ playbook.
Two crash victims were sent to the hospital.
Rice issued a message on Instagram four days after the accident, stating he is helping with the inquiry.
“I take full responsibility for my part in this matter and will continue to cooperate with the necessary authorities,” he said in a statement. “I sincerely apologize to everyone impacted.”
He is facing NFL sanctions for breaching the Personal Conduct Policy.
