Rashee Rice: Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl winner admits role in Texas car crash that left four injured.

Rice was renting a Lamborghini SUV when police observed it speeding on North Central Motorway on Saturday alongside a Corvette.

Six vehicles were ultimately involved in the collision, according to the police, and the drivers of the Lamborghini and Corvette fled the scene without exchanging information or assessing who needed medical assistance.

I spoke with Dallas Police Department investigators about Saturday’s collision today. In a post to his Instagram Story on Wednesday, Rice stated, “I accept full responsibility for my involvement in this matter and will continue to cooperate with the necessary authorities.”

“I sincerely apologise to everyone impacted in Saturday’s accident.”

This week, Rice’s representative stated, though without providing further details, that the NFL player was assisting the authorities.

The Chiefs said that they knew about the crash, but they would not elaborate. Regarding the other individuals involved in the collision, police have not disclosed any information.

According to Kyle Coker, an attorney for The Classic Lifestyle, a Dallas-based exotic automobile rental firm, Rice was renting the Lamborghini. Rice would have been the only driver permitted by the conditions of the lease on the car, which is worth approximately $250,000 (£197,000) and leases for about $1,750 (£1,380) each day.

State senator Royce West, who is representing Rice, declared that his client “will take all necessary steps to address this situation responsibly.” In response to enquiries on Tuesday, West remained silent and did not clarify if Rice was operating a car.

Although Rice was raised in the North Richland Hills suburb of Fort Worth, Texas, he was born in Philadelphia. After a strong senior year in 2022 at neighbouring SMU, where he played collegiate football, NFL organisations began to take notice of the wide receiver.

He was chosen by the Chiefs in the second round of the previous draft, and he soon established himself as one of their most reliable passing game alternatives. Rice led the Chiefs with seven touchdown receptions and ended second on the team with 73 receptions for 938 yards thanks to his outstanding agility off the line of scrimmage.

In the playoffs, Rice might have been even more effective. In the Super Bowl, he had six receptions for 39 yards against San Francisco, which helped the Chiefs win their third Lombardi Trophy in five years. He also had 26 receptions for 262 yards and a score.
