Rashee Rice faces legal action following high-speed car crash in Dallas.
The Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver has taken himself into custody for his involvement in a multi-vehicle collision on the Central Expressway on March 30, the Glenn Heights Police Department in Texas told NBC News on April 11. The Dallas Police Department announced on April 10 that a warrant had been issued for his arrest.
It was not immediately clear whether Rice remains in custody.
The athlete, who was driving a Lamborghini at the time, faces one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision resulting in serious bodily injury and six counts of collision resulting in injury in connection with the incident.
Meanwhile, the Southern Methodist University football player Theodore “Teddy” Knox— who authorities say was driving a Corvette also involved in the crash — faces the same charges.
Investigators believe Rice, 23, and Knox, 21, were speeding in the two luxury cars when they “caused a chain collision involving four other vehicles,” police previously told CNN. “The occupants of the Lamborghini and Corvette all ran from the scene without stopping to determine if anyone needed medical help or to provide information.”
