Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice surrendered to law enforcement in Texas Thursday evening in connection with a six-car crash last month. He turned himself into Glenn Heights police and was processed at a regional jail in Desoto, according to Dallas police. Rice, 23, later posted bond and left jail. The Chiefs player had a surety bond of $40,000, according to jail records.
Dallas police issued arrest warrants for Rice and another man in connection with the March crash. Rice and the 21-year-old man will each face one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury, and six counts of collision involving injury, as per Dallas police. The other man was not in custody as of Thursday evening.
The drivers of a Lamborghini and a Corvette were speeding on the North Central Expressway on March 31. The Lamborghini hit the center median wall, causing a chain reaction collision involving four other vehicles. Six vehicles were involved in total. Four people from other vehicles were treated for injuries.
Rice's attorney confirmed that his client was driving the Lamborghini during the crash. Rice texted the rental company after the incident, apologizing and offering to pay for damages. He had rented the Lamborghini SUV for a reduced rate of $12,000 per month.
Rice, a second-round pick by the Chiefs in last year's NFL Draft, had a successful rookie season, becoming the team's most reliable wide receiver. He played college football at Southern Methodist University in Dallas and grew up in North Richland Hills in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
