Rashee Rice's alleged car accident: Everything we know so far
A vehicle registered in Rice's name was reportedly involved in an accident on Nort Central Expressway on Saturday evening.
Rice's alleged involvement in the car crash is not clear. But according to the Dallas Morning News report, law enforcement authorities are still on the lookout for the Chiefs wideout.
Rice's name was not in the Dallas County jail records as of early Sunday, per the report.
Rice grew up in North Richland Hills in Texas, which could possibly explain why he was in the area over the weekend. Rice had an impressive record as a junior, catching 72 passes for 1,386 yards and 19 touchdowns. He was named first team all-district for those numbers and was a three-start recruit when he committed to playing college football at SMU.
Rice was eventually picked by the Kansas City Chiefs in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft with the 55th overall pick. He had a more than eventful year with the Chiefs, breaking the franchise's single-season receiving touchdowns record. He had six passes for 39 yards in Super Bowl LVIII in the Chiefs' 25-22 win over the San Francisco 49ers.
Update: According to Dallas Wire's Kelli Smith, Dallas police reported that a Corvette and a Lamborghini were engaged in a race when they collided, resulting in a 6-vehicle accident. Both drivers fled the scene. A call sheet they acquired identified Rashee Rice as the alleged driver of the Corvette.
Update: Senior NFL Insider Josina Anderson reported on Sunday evening that the Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice has retained legal counsel. A statement on the accident is expected to be released tomorrow.
