In a dramatic turn of events, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has reportedly turned himself over to Glenn Heights Police Department in Dallas. The charges stem from a multi-car hit-and-run crash that occurred late last month on Central Expressway.
According to authorities, the incident involved two speeding vehicles—a Lamborghini and a Corvette—which triggered a chain reaction collision, leaving four other cars damaged and four people injured.
Rice, a 23-year-old rising star, took to Instagram to express his remorse. He wrote, “I sincerely apologize to everyone impacted in Saturday’s accident.” His lawyer, Royce West, emphasized that Rashee Rice is fully cooperating with local authorities and will address the situation responsibly. The Corvette involved in the crash was allegedly registered or leased to the Chiefs’ wide receiver.
