"Today I met with Dallas PD investigators
regarding Saturday's accident. I take full responsibility for my
part in this matter and will continue to cooperate with the
necessary authorities," he posted to his Instagram story. "I
sincerely apologize to everyone impacted in Saturday's
accident."
A Lamborghini sport utility vehicle leased by Rice was one of
two speeding sports cars that authorities say caused a
chain-reaction crash on a downtown Dallas highway on Saturday
night.
The occupants of the Lamborghini and a Corvette left the scene
without checking to see if anyone needed medical attention or
providing their information, according to police.
Attorney Royce West said earlier this week that Rice is
cooperating with police "and will take all necessary steps to
address this situation responsibly."
The Chiefs and the NFL are monitoring the developing situation.
Rice, who turns 24 on April 22, grew up in the North Texas
suburb of North Richland Hills and attended college in Dallas at
SMU.
He recorded 79 catches and 938 yards with a team-leading seven
touchdown receptions in 16 games (eight starts) after being
selected by Kansas City in the second round of the 2023 NFL
Draft. He also had 26 catches for 262 yards and a score in four
playoff games to help the Chiefs secure their second straight
Super Bowl title.
