DALLAS, TEXAS – A Kansas City Chiefs football player, Rashee Rice, has had an arrest warrant issued against him in connection with a high-speed crash that occurred in Dallas last month. Rice was reportedly driving a Lamborghini during the March 30 collision, which resulted in an arrest warrant being filed accusing him of aggravated assault and other charges.
According to Dallas police, Rice and another driver were speeding in their vehicles on the North Central Expressway, leading to a chain reaction collision involving multiple vehicles. Although there were no major injuries reported, two individuals were treated at the scene and two others were taken to a local hospital as a result of the crash. Both Rice and the other driver involved were not in custody as of Wednesday evening.
Rice, who was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2023 and played a significant role in their Super Bowl victory, took to social media to express his regret over the incident, stating that he takes full responsibility for his actions. His attorney, Royce West, had previously mentioned that Rice was cooperating with authorities in the investigation.
Despite the lack of injuries in the crash, both Rice and the other driver allegedly left the scene without providing necessary information or offering medical assistance to those involved. While Rice has publicly apologized for his role in the collision, details regarding the exact circumstances of the incident are still developing.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the Kansas City Chiefs have yet to release an official statement regarding the situation. However, team officials have expressed their commitment to monitoring the case closely and responding appropriately once all the facts have been gathered. The franchise stressed the importance of understanding the full context of the incident before taking any definitive action.
