Shafter’s post on Instagram said exactly, “Rashee Rice was the driver of one of two speeding sports cars who left after causing a chain-reaction crash on a Dallas highway over the weekend, the wide receiver’s attorney said Thursday. Why Rice left the crash Saturday was “a good question that’s still being investigated,” said Rice’s attorney, state Sen. Royce West, but he declined to elaborate.”

He elaborated further by writing, “West expects charges to be filed against Rice, who was driving a Lamborghini sport utility vehicle, he said at a news conference without his client. “He’s a young man that made a mistake,” West said Thursday, adding that Rice’s “heart goes out” to those who were injured. The crash involved the Lamborghini Urus, a Chevrolet Corvette and four other vehicles and left four people with minor injuries, police said.”
Rice’s unfortunate situation reminds us of the time when former Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs was involved in a car crash that ended up claiming the life of a woman and her dog.

The incident occurred in 2021 when the WR was found guilty to a drunk driving charge following a crash into the victim, Tina Tinto’s car from behind. Post-crash, the car caught fire and the victims succumbed to it. Ruggs was sentenced to 3–10 years, with the ability to be paroled after 3 years. Shannon Sharpe tried to connect the dots between Rice and Ruggs on an episode of his podcast.

“When we try to tell them, “we hatin”, “Shannon, you done live your life, let that man live his life.” Said Sharpe and added later, “You see Ocho, a wise man will learn from other’s mistakes and a fool must learn from his own. Did you not just see Henry Ruggs get 11 years? Yeah, but that ain’t enough.”
