Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice faces charges including aggravated assault, Dallas police said on Wednesday, after he and another speeding driver of a sports car caused a chain-reaction crash on a highway.
Police said that arrest warrants have been issued for the 23-year-old for one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury.
Rice's attorney, state Senator Royce West, said last week that Rice had been driving a Lamborghini sport utility vehicle when the crash occurred.
Arrest warrants were also 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 for one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury.
Police said that Rice and Knox were not currently in custody. West had no immediate comment on Rice's behalf, and it was not clear whether Knox had an attorney.
The Chiefs had no immediate comment.
The crash involved the Lamborghini, a Corvette and four other vehicles and left four people with minor injuries, police said
