According to reports from the Dallas Morning News, the Lamborghini reportedly struck the median, setting off a chain reaction that resulted in a four-car accident.
A spokesperson from the Dallas Police Department stated that both drivers involved in the race were speeding and lost control of their vehicles, ultimately leading to the collision involving multiple cars.
Despite the severity of the incident, Rashee Rice purportedly fled the scene and has yet to surrender to authorities. The Dallas Police Department has launched a search for Rice, but his whereabouts remain unknown.
As the investigation unfolds, it remains uncertain whether Rice will face charges in connection with the collision. The 23-year-old Texas native, hailing from the Fort Worth suburb of North Richland Hills, rose to prominence during his college years at Southern Methodist University before being drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the second round.
Rice’s emergence as a promising talent was evident during his rookie season with the Chiefs, where he played a significant role in the team’s offensive lineup.
Despite initial struggles among Kansas City receivers, Rice’s performance stood out, finishing the season with impressive stats including 79 receptions, 938 receiving yards, and 7 touchdowns. His contributions extended into the postseason, solidifying his place as a key asset for the Chiefs.
However, the recent incident has cast uncertainty over Rice’s future with the team, prompting speculation about potential repercussions and the need for reinforcements in the wide receiver position.
With veteran quarterback Patrick Mahomes at the helm, the Chiefs are poised for success but recognize the importance of bolstering their offensive arsenal.
Amidst inquiries from media outlets, Ted Crews, the Chiefs’ executive vice president of communications, refrained from providing comments, while Rice’s agent remained silent on the matter.
As the investigation progresses, the NFL community awaits further developments regarding Rice’s involvement and its implications for both his career and the Kansas City Chiefs.
