Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice said via social media that he met with Dallas police Wednesday and takes “full responsibility” for his part in the crash that injured four people Saturday.
Rice was leasing a Lamborghini sport utility vehicle that authorities say was one of two speeding sports cars that caused a chain-reaction crash on a Dallas highway, an attorney for the company that owns the vehicle said Tuesday.
The occupants of the Lamborghini SUV and the other speeding vehicle — a Chevrolet Corvette — left without determining whether anyone needed medical attention or providing their information, police said. Six vehicles were involved in the crash.
Rice was leasing the Lamborghini Urus from The Classic Lifestyle, said Kyle Coker, an attorney for the Dallas-based exotic car rental company. He said that, contractually, Rice would have been the only person allowed to drive the vehicle, which rents for about $1,750 a day and is worth about $250,000.
Police have said the drivers of a Corvette and a Lamborghini were speeding in the far-left lane of North Central Expressway when they lost control. The Lamborghini went onto the shoulder and hit the center median wall, causing a chain-reaction collision. Four people in the other vehicles were treated for minor injuries.
