Rashee Rice Apologizes for Involvement in Crash as Injured Couple Reportedly Seek Legal Counsel

There is plenty to be sorted out in the crash allegedly caused by Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice's car, and it appears at least two people involved don't want him to get off lightly.

Crash Allegedly Caused by Rashee Rice

Dallas Couple Hires Attorney

A Dallas couple injured in the hit-and-run collision allegedly involving Rice has hired an attorney and is considering their legal options, according to the Dallas Morning News. The pair were reportedly traveling to a friend's 50th birthday party when two vehicles, one allegedly containing Rice, slammed into their white Lexus SUV.

“They’re angry at the situation,” said the attorney. “From our perspective and their perspective, it doesn’t really matter who the people are but just the human decency element of it — the decent thing to do is to make sure that no one is harmed and comply with your legal obligations.”

Other Victims

Other victims in the crash reportedly include a 27-year-old and her 4-year-old son, whose Hyundai Accent was left "un-drivable," and a separate victim in an Uber that got T-boned.

Rashee Rice's Statement

Rice released a statement confirming he was involved in the crash, is cooperating with authorities, and "will take all necessary steps to address this situation responsibly."

“Today I met with Dallas PD investigators regarding Saturday's accident," Rice said. "I take full responsibility for my part in this matter and will continue to cooperate with the necessary authorities. I sincerely apologize to everyone impacted in Saturday's accident."

Consider the Context

A significant question about the crash is whether or not Rice was driving the black Lamborghini involved. Both the Chiefs and the NFL have confirmed they are aware of the situation, while police are still investigating and have not officially identified any suspects.
