An arrest warrant has been issued for Rashee Rice, a receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, following a high-speed crash in Dallas in March. Rice was driving a Lamborghini at the time of the incident, which resulted in a chain reaction collision involving multiple vehicles. Police have accused Rice of aggravated assault, collision involving serious bodily injury, and multiple counts of collision. Two people were treated at the scene, and two others were taken to the hospital, but no major injuries were reported. Another driver involved in the crash is also facing similar charges.

Despite the arrest warrant, neither Rice nor the other driver were in custody as of Wednesday evening. Police confirmed that the passengers in their cars will not be charged. Rice, who expressed regret for his role in the accident on social media, has stated that he is cooperating with authorities. His attorney, Royce West, who is also a Texas state senator, has not commented on the situation. Rice, who is 23 years old and hails from Dallas, was drafted by the Chiefs in 2023 and played a pivotal role in the team’s Super Bowl victory earlier this year.

The Kansas City Chiefs have not made any public statements regarding the incident, but team President Mark Donovan acknowledged that they are monitoring the situation closely. Rice’s attorney has not been in contact with the team about the crash. The football player apologized on Instagram for his involvement in the crash, taking responsibility for his actions and pledging to cooperate with authorities. The crash involved a Lamborghini and a Corvette, with both drivers fleeing the scene without checking on the well-being of others or providing their information.

The crash occurred on the North Central Expressway in Dallas, resulting in significant damage to multiple vehicles. Two individuals required medical treatment, but fortunately, there were no major injuries reported. The drivers of both the Lamborghini and the Corvette have been accused of aggravated assault and collision-related charges. Rice’s status regarding his playing career with the Chiefs is yet to be determined, as there has been no communication between his attorney and the team. Despite the seriousness of the charges, Rice has taken responsibility for his part in the accident and expressed his remorse to those impacted.

While the legal proceedings are ongoing, Rice remains free as he cooperates with authorities to resolve the matter. The Kansas City Chiefs, the team he helped achieve a Super Bowl victory, have refrained from making any detailed comments on the situation, but they are keeping a close eye on the developments. Rice’s attorney, who is also a prominent state senator, has not provided any further statements to the media regarding the case. Despite the serious nature of the incident and the charges leveled against him, Rice’s apology and commitment to cooperating with the investigation suggest a willingness to take accountability for his actions.
