Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice has spoken out for the first time about the serious traffic accident in Dallas with which he is associated. The Super Bowl winner has turned himself in to the police – and apologized to the victims of the accident.

Police had been searching for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice in connection with a serious accident in Dallas on Saturday night.

On Wednesday, Rice spoke out for the first time in a statement on social media – admitting his involvement in the accident after video footage of the accident had previously become public.

“Today I met with Dallas Police investigators regarding Saturday’s accident,” wrote Rice: “I take full responsibility for my role in this matter and will continue to cooperate with the authorities. I sincerely apologize to everyone affected by Saturday’s accident.”

A Corvette believed to have been driven by Rice was in a street race with a Lamborghini, according to police. This resulted in an accident on the North Central Expressway around 6:20 p.m. Saturday evening with a total of six vehicles involved.

According to law enforcement, police were looking for Rice, a police report confirms. Both Rice and the driver of the Lamborghini reportedly fled the scene of the accident immediately.

As “WFAA” reports, “at least one person” is in hospital. The local TV station also showed images of the aftermath of the accident.

Did Rice flee the scene with a gun?

Victims of the accident allegedly caused by Rice have made serious allegations against the NFL star. Reports cite a mother named Kayla Quinn, who was involved in the accident with her four-year-old son and who complained about the alleged lack of compassion shown by the football star who fled the scene.

It is also reported that the men responsible for the accident, which is said to include Rice, took weapons and bags from the damaged vehicles before fleeing the scene.

The 27-year-old Quinn stated that she believed the five men had initially fled to a train station near the scene of the accident so that they could continue away from the scene.

Quinn’s Hyundai Accent was damaged in the accident with a Corvette and a Lamborghini, her son was uninjured and was examined by paramedics at the scene.
