Rashee Rice, a Chiefs receiver, surrenders to authorities following a car crash.
Rice was charged with one crime of aggravated assault, one case of collision involving serious injury, and six charges of collision involving injury.
Rashee Rice, a Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver, surrendered to authorities on Thursday on an arrest warrant stemming from an injury automobile incident last month.
Rice’s attorney verified that his client was freed on bond after being booked into a jail in Glenn Heights, Texas, located in the southern section of the Dallas metroplex. Police issued a warrant for Rice’s arrest Wednesday in connection with a six-vehicle injury crash in Dallas on March 30.
“I’d like to emphasize Mr. Rice’s ongoing cooperation with law enforcement,” attorney Royce West said in a statement. “Mr. Rice accepts responsibility for his actions and expresses sincere concern for those hurt as a result of the disaster. Our legal team is now responsible for examining all legal paperwork.”
Rice is charged with one crime of aggravated assault, one case of collision involving serious injury, and six charges of collision resulting in injury.
In a press conference last week, West revealed that Rice acknowledged to driving the Lamborghini SUV involved in the incident. The Lamborghini, together with a Chevrolet Corvette, lost control at high speeds, resulting in a chain reaction accident. Four persons were taken to area hospitals for minor injuries.
An arrest warrant was also issued Wednesday for the Corvette’s driver, 21-year-old Theodore Knox. Knox has the same charges as Rice. According to authorities, no other drivers involved in the crash are expected to face charges in connection with the incident.
“I accept full responsibility for my part in this.”
