Kansas Cit Chiefs Running Back Rashee Rice, Turns Himself In Following a Multi-Vehicle Crash In Dallas. He’s facing 8 Charges

Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl winner Rashee Rice, has handed himself into police in Dallas after an arrest warrant was issued on Wednesday night for causing a multi-vehicle car crash in Dallas in March.

Rice turned himself over to Glenn Heights police and was taken to the DeSoto Regional Jail, according to NBC, and has posted a $40k bond before being released. He earns $1.6m-a-year on his current deal with the Chiefs

The 23-year-old faces eight charges in total – six counts of collision involving bodily injury, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and one count of aggravated assault. CBS Sports had reported late on Wednesday that Rice planned to turn himself in and that process was being finalized. Rice crashed his Lamborghini on a Dallas highway and police suspect that he was racing.

Arrest warrants have also been issued for Theodore Knox, 21, who was driving the other speeding sports car, a Corvette, police said. Police said that arrest warrants have been issued for Knox – who was suspended by SMU on Thursday – for one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury. Last week, Rice posted a statement on social media taking responsibility for what happened.

‘Today I met with Dallas PD investigators regarding Saturday’s accident,’ Rice said in his statement. “I take full responsibility for my part in this matter and will continue to cooperate with the necessary authorities. I sincerely apologize to everyone impacted in Saturday’s accident.”

Police suspected Rice was racing the Corvette at the time of the collision. They have previously said the drivers of the Corvette and Lamborghini were speeding in the far left lane when they lost control and the Lamborghini traveled onto the shoulder and hit the center median wall, causing the chain collision.

After the smash had happened, three men – including Rice – were filmed walking away from the wreckage without stopping.
