DALLAS (KCTV) – An arrest warrant has been issued for Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice following an Easter weekend crash on a Dallas highway.
The Dallas Police Department said Rice faces eight charges for his role in the crash, which involved six cars and left multiple people with injuries.
Rice faces one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury after Dallas Police said an investigation determined that the 23-year-old Chiefs wide receiver was speeding in the far-left lane of North Central Expressway in Dallas, near University Boulevard.
Rice’s speeding in a Lamborghini along with 21-year-old Theodore Knox’s speeding in a Corvette caused a chain-link crash involving six vehicles.
Knox faces the same charges as Rice. The passengers in the vehicles will not be charged, Dallas Police said.
Dallas Police said Rice, a native of North Richland Hills, Texas, a Dallas-Fort Worth suburb, is not in custody at this time.
Rice is currently planning to turn himself in to Dallas Police, with the specifics of that process still being finalized.
