On March 27, 2023, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice surrendered to the Glenn Heights Police Department in Dallas, Texas, following a multi-car hit-and-run crash that left four people injured. The incident took place on Central Expressway in Dallas during the early hours of March 13, 2023.
According to the police report, the crash involved two high-speed vehicles – a Lamborghini and a Corvette – traveling in opposite directions on Central Expressway. The Lamborghini, allegedly driven by Rice, was reportedly speeding westbound when it collided head-on with the Corvette, which was going eastbound. The impact of the collision was so severe that it caused both vehicles to spin out of control and crash into other cars on the road.
The crash resulted in extensive damage to all the vehicles involved, leaving four people injured. The extent of their injuries is currently unknown, but authorities have confirmed that they were all transported to local hospitals for treatment.
Immediately following the crash, both drivers fled the scene, leaving the injured parties behind. Witnesses at the scene were able to provide descriptions of both drivers and their vehicles to the police. The police launched an investigation into the incident and eventually identified Rice as a suspect based on witness statements and evidence collected at the scene.
Rice, who is currently a free agent, was not with the Chiefs at the time of the incident but had been working out with the team in preparation for the upcoming NFL season. The team released a statement expressing their concern for those injured in the crash and stating that they were cooperating fully with law enforcement in their investigation.
The charges against Rice are still pending, but he is expected to face charges related to hit-and-run and reckless driving. The Glenn Heights Police Department is continuing to investigate the incident and is urging anyone with information related to the crash to come forward.
This is not the first time Rice has been involved in legal issues. In 2014, he was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and battery after an altercation at a nightclub in Louisiana. He was later acquitted of those charges.
The incident is a reminder of the importance of responsible driving and staying at the scene of an accident, especially when injuries have been sustained. It is also a reminder for athletes to be mindful of their actions off the field, as their actions can have significant consequences not only for themselves but for others as well.
