A shocking revelation has rocked the Kansas City Chiefs and their passionate fanbase. Star wide receiver Rashee Rice has reportedly admitted involvement in the multi-vehicle crash that occurred in Dallas, leaving multiple people injured.

According to reports by TMZ, Rice reached out to the luxury car rental company that owned the Lamborghini involved in the accident. In a text message, he allegedly confessed, “I wrecked the Lambo. I will pay for it.” While his statements still don’t directly mention him to be the driver of the car, they do indulge in the claim far more than before.

This firsthand possible admission from the 23-year-old adds a new layer to the harrowing incident. Dashcam footage showed two high-end cars, a Corvette and a Lamborghini, speeding down the expressway before colliding with other vehicles. Multiple individuals, including Rice, fled the scene without checking on those injured or awaiting authorities, which per TMZ does not favor his case in any scenario.

The further backing for his position as the driver comes out of the fact that Rice had signed an agreement with the car company that he would be the only one driving it. Hence, it either indicates his potential involvement as the person behind the wheel or his landing in trouble for handing over the keys to one of his friends while signing papers against it.

Rice has expressed regret in a recent statement, stating “full responsibility for my part in this matter…I sincerely apologize to everyone impacted in Saturday’s accident.”. As more details emerge surrounding Rice’s participation, serious legal implications could be looming for the football player.

As the investigation unfolds, a dark cloud lingers over the promising young wideout and his Chiefs teammates heading into next season. With the NFL monitoring the situation closely, the potential for charges and disciplinary action raises crucial questions about accountability and consequences.
