Arrest warrant issued for Rashee Rice in connection to multi-car crash in Dallas
DALLAS — An arrest warrant was issued Wednesday for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice in connection to a multi-car pile-up in Dallas on March 30.
The Dallas Police Department issued arrest warrants for 23-year-old Rice and 21-year-old Theodore Knox.
The DPD investigation found that Knox was driving a Corvette and Rice was in a Lamborghini. Both were speeding in the far-left lane of North Central Expressway near University Boulevard. The Lamborghini hit the center median wall, officials said, which caused four other vehicles to collide with each other.
Two people were treated at the scene for minor injuries, and two others were taken to the hospital for their minor injuries.
