Two minutes ago, the Chiefs gathered in mourning for a teammate who was involved in a car accident.
Rashee Rice has admitted he was involved in a multi-car collision that featured a Lamborghini he was leasing; four people were left with minor injuries following the incident in Dallas; Rice was a key figure in the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl win in February
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice says he is taking “full responsibility” for his part in a Dallas car accident that resulted in minor injuries to four people.
Rice was leasing a Lamborghini SUV that police said was speeding along with a Corvette on North Central Expressway on Saturday.
The crash ultimately involved six vehicles, police said, and the occupants of the Lamborghini and Corvette left the scene without providing information or determining whether anyone needed medical attention.
“Today I met with Dallas PD investigators regarding Saturday’s accident. I take full responsibility for my part in this matter and will continue to cooperate with the necessary authorities,” Rice wrote on Wednesday in a post to his Instagram Story.
“I sincerely apologize to everyone impacted in Saturday’s accident.”
An attorney for Rice said earlier this week that the NFL player was cooperating with authorities but did not elaborate.
The Chiefs also said they were aware of the crash but declined additional comment. Police have not released any information about the other people involved in the wreck.
