It has been reported that Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice has been issued an arrest warrant for his involvement in a multi-vehicle crash in Dallas last month. WFAA reports that Rice was driving a Lamborghini SUV, which was allegedly racing a Corvette leased in Rice’s name at the time of the incident.
Rice, who is 23 years old, is facing six counts of collision involving bodily injury, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury, and one count of aggravated assault, all of which are felonies. The driver of the Corvette, Theodore Knox, is also facing the same charges as Rice. It is worth noting that there is a Teddy Knox listed as a cornerback on SMU’s football team, where Rice also played during his college years.
The crash occurred on North Central Expressway on March 30 when the luxury cars driven by Rice and Knox lost control, involving four other vehicles in the accident. All six occupants of the Lamborghini and Corvette fled the scene, leaving multiple victims without exchanging information or insurance details. Marijuana, credit cards, a $16,500 check, a diamond chain, and the Kansas City Chiefs’ playbook were found in both cars. Two of the crash victims had to be transported to the hospital.
Rice made a statement on his Instagram account four days after the crash, stating that he is cooperating with the investigation and taking full responsibility for his actions. He expressed his sincerest apologies to everyone affected by the incident. In addition to facing criminal charges, Rice may also face discipline from the NFL for violating the Personal Conduct Policy.
