A Kansas City Chiefs player, Rashee Rice, was identified as the driver of a Lamborghini SUV involved in a chain-reaction crash on a Dallas highway over the weekend. The incident also included a Corvette and four other vehicles, resulting in minor injuries to four individuals.
Rice's attorney, State Sen. Royce West, confirmed that Rice was driving the Lamborghini and expressed that the reason for Rice leaving the scene is still under investigation. West mentioned that charges are expected to be filed against Rice, emphasizing that he is a young man who made a mistake and is remorseful for the situation.
The Corvette involved in the crash, which also left the scene, is reportedly owned by Rice. However, details about the driver of the Corvette have not been disclosed. Rice took to social media to take full responsibility for his role in the accident.
According to police reports, both the Lamborghini and Corvette were speeding in the left lane before losing control. The Lamborghini veered onto the shoulder, striking the center median wall and triggering the subsequent collisions. Investigators are currently interviewing witnesses and victims to gather more information about the incident.
Rice, a 23-year-old wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, has pledged to assist in rectifying the injuries and property damage caused by the crash. He was leasing the Lamborghini from a Dallas-based exotic car rental company.
Rice, originally from Philadelphia, was raised in North Richland Hills, Texas, and played college football at SMU. His standout performance during his senior year at SMU led to his selection by the Chiefs in the 2022 NFL draft, where he has become a key player in their offense.
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash, with charges pending against Rice and further details expected to emerge as the investigation progresses.
