Embattled Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was traveling more than 100 mph in last month’s six-vehicle crash in Dallas that left four injured, according to authorities.
An arrest warrant affidavit stated that Rice was driving his Lamborghini Urus 119 mph 4.5 seconds before the wreck occurred, the Dallas Morning News reported Friday, hours after the 23-year-old wideout turned himself into authorities in Texas.
Rice was driving nearly 50 mph above the 70 mph speed limit.
Meanwhile, the Corvette being driven by SMU wide receiver Theodore “Teddy” Knox was driving 116 miles per hour 7.5 seconds before the crash, according to the affidavit.
The affidavit said what video of the incident appeared to show is that the vehicles “made multiple aggressive maneuvers to get through traffic.”
The two cars “both took faulty evasive action” in an attempt to avoid a sedan in their path, but collided with each other and in the fallout several other vehicles were involved in the wreck “in a matter of seconds,” according to the Dallas Morning News.
Rice turned himself in on an arrest warrant for eight felony counts on Thursday and was released on $40,000 bond.
“Mr. Rice acknowledges his actions and feels deeply for those injured as a result of this accident,” the wideout’s attorney Royce West told the Associated Press in a statement.
The incident occurred on March 30 on U.S. Highway 75 in Dallas.
Rice, Knox and several other passengers in the vehicles fled the scene without checking if any of the people in the other cars involved in the crash were seriously injured, police said.
The other passengers who fled the scene will not face charges.
“He’s a young man that made a mistake,” West, the attorney, told reporters last Thursday, promising that Rice will “do everything in his power to bring their life back to as normal as possible in terms of injuries, in terms of property damage.”
Knox is facing the same charges as Rice and has been suspended from the SMU football team.
