Rashee Rice, a wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, turned himself in to police on today. He was accused of causing a disaster involving six vehicles on a Dallas highway last month together with another driver of a racing sports car. The allegations include aggravated assault.

The Associated Press was informed by a representative for Rice’s legal representative that Rice handed himself in at the Glenn Heights Police Department. Sen. Royce West of Texas is the state senator for Rice.

After being taken into the DeSoto Regional Jail, Rice was reportedly released on bond on Thursday night, according to West.

West highlighted Rice’s “continuing cooperation with law enforcement” in an email statement.

The attorney stated that Mr. Rice accepts responsibility for his acts and has great sympathy for the people hurt in this event.

Last week, Rice declared on Instagram that he accepted full responsibility for his involvement in the accident.

Rice, 23, was the subject of arrest warrants for one crime of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury, and six counts of collision involving injury, according to a statement from Dallas police on Wednesday.

As previously stated by West, Rice was operating a Lamborghini at the time of the March 30 collision.

Police added that Theodore Knox, 21, was operating the other fast sports vehicle, a Corvette, and that he was the subject of arrest warrants for similar offenses as Rice. Knox was not being held, according to a statement from Dallas police on Thursday night.

Earlier in the day, Southern Methodist University said that Knox had been suspended from the football team following discovery of the arrest warrant. Deandra Grant, Knox’s lawyer, stated that her client was assisting the police.

According to the police, Rice and Knox lost control of their Lamborghini while driving in the far left lane. The vehicle then went onto the shoulder and struck the center median wall, setting off a series of collisions.

Police claim that after the collision, Rice and Knox fled without asking whether anyone needed medical assistance or gathering their information. According to authorities, four persons in the collision suffered minor injuries.

Rice was born and raised in the North Richland Hills district of Fort Worth. He attended Southern Methodist University in the area, where he played collegiate football and gained attention from NFL teams after his standout senior year in 2022.

He was chosen by the Chiefs in the second round of the previous draft, and he quickly established himself as one of their most reliable passing options.
