MSN - Kansas City Chiefs’ Rashee Rice suspected in connection with 6-vehicle crash in Dallas

Story by Kelli Smith, R.J. Coyle, The Dallas Morning News • 4h

Police are looking for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice in connection with a major multi-vehicle accident Saturday evening in northeast Dallas, law enforcement officials confirmed to The Dallas Morning News.


A vehicle believed to be registered or leased to Rice was involved in a crash in the 6600 block of North Central Expressway at about 6:20 p.m., officials told The News. The law enforcement officials said police are looking for Rice, and a police call sheet obtained by The News confirmed that law enforcement was searching for him in connection with the accident.

His alleged involvement in the crash is unclear. Dallas police spokeswoman Kristin Lowman said the preliminary investigation determined a driver in a Chevrolet Corvette and a driver in a Lamborghini were speeding in the far left lane, near University Boulevard, where both lost control of their vehicles.

Lowman said the Lamborghini traveled onto the shoulder and “hit the center median wall, causing a chain reaction collision involving four other vehicles.” The occupants of both the Lamborghini and the Corvette ran from the crash without stopping to see if anyone needed medical help or providing any of their information, Lowman said.

Two drivers were treated at the crash site for minor injures, and two other people were taken to a hospital with minor injuries. Lowman said police are still working to identify the suspects.


The police call sheet obtained by The News listed Rice as the suspected driver of the Corvette. Spokespeople for the Kansas City Chiefs have not responded to multiple requests by phone and email for comment. A representative from Rice’s marketing team also did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Rice was not appearing in Dallas County jail records as of about 11:45 a.m. Sunday. It was not immediately clear if he is suspected of any charges.

Kayla Quinn, 27,
told The News in an interview that she was driving home from the Fort Worth Zoo with her 4-year-old son Saturday when the crash began. Quinn said she was in the lane next to the far left lane and her car was side swiped on the driver’s side.
