Total Traffic DFW just reported a significant traffic disruption in Dallas. The accident involving a vehicle registered to Rice has led to the closure of the northbound lane on 75, between Lovers Lane and Southwestern Boulevard. This has resulted in a traffic standstill extending back to Knox-Henderson.
Rice played extremely well as a junior. He had 72 catches, 1,386 yards, and 19 touchdowns. Rice was named first-team all-district for his stats. He was a three-star recruit when committing to SMU for college football. The Kansas City Chiefs drafted Rice in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft with pick 55. He is native to North Richland Hills, Texas which is not so far away from the accident spot.

Quinn, 27, told the Dallas Morning News that the men from the Lamborghini and Corvette involved simply walked away without checking on others or offering assistance, despite children being present. “No one stopped. We had kids,” Quinn stated, expressing disbelief at their callous actions.
The crash unfolded when the two high-end vehicles were allegedly street racing before losing control and striking multiple other cars. While Rice has not been officially confirmed as one of the drivers, police are actively searching for the 23-year-old in connection with the incident.

Quinn claims to have witnessed a man walking away from the Lamborghini in the immediate aftermath. Dashcam footage also showed occupants of both vehicles walking away from the chaotic scene.
Meanwhile, reports have also emerged Rice has retained legal counsel.

Authorities remain focused on locating Rice and any others involved to fully understand the circumstances surrounding this deeply concerning event.
