Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice faces eight charges, including aggravated assault, after he and another speeding driver of a sports car caused a recent chain-reaction crash, Dallas police said Wednesday.

Rice was involved in a six-vehicle crash March 30, according to Dallas police.

An investigation conducted by Dallas Police determined that Rice, who was driving a Lamborghini he had leased, and Theodore Knox, who was driving a Corvette that Rice owns, were "speeding in the far-left lane" of North Central Expressway before the drivers lost control and caused a “chain reaction collision involving four other vehicles."

Dallas police responded to the crash at about 6:25 p.m. March 30. The crash was located at the 6600 block of North Central Expressway near SMU. Dallas Morning News reported that two cars, one Chevrolet Corvette and one Lamborghini, were speeding in the far left lanes near University Boulevard.

Kayla Quinn told The Dallas Morning News that she was driving home from the Fort Worth Zoo with her 4-year-old son when the crash happened. Quinn said her car was side-swiped on the driver’s side.

Five men from the Lamborghini and the Corvette walked away on the shoulder of the expressway. Quinn said they appeared to be headed to a nearby train station.

Rice played for SMU before being selected by the Chiefs in the second round of the 2023 NFL draft.
