Kansas City Chiefs break their silence on Rashee Rice car crash drama and insist they will 'react accordingly' when they 'have all the facts' - as Dallas police continue to hunt for wide receiver

The president of the Kansas City Chiefs says his team will wait to make a decision on wide receiver Rashee Rice until all the facts in a case regarding his potential car crash come to light.

Rice is being searched for by Dallas, Texas police after he allegedly crashed his Chevrolet Corvette on a highway.

Police suspect that he was racing a Lamborghini before the cars ended up hitting each other - with eyewitnesses saying they saw men flee after taking guns from the car.

Mark Donovan, the president of the Chiefs, went on local talk radio and revealed that he wouldn't jump to any conclusions or decisions just yet.

'In all these situations you have to wait until you have all the facts and frankly, we don't have all the facts at this point,' Donovan told KCMO's Pete Mundo on Monday.

'The one comforting fact that we do have is that there was a multi-car crash in Texas, in Dallas, and fortunately, it doesn't appear that anyone was hurt and we should be grateful for that.

'We'll get to the bottom of it, we'll gather the facts and we'll react accordingly.'

Reports also claim on Sunday night that a witness saw one of the men take 'guns and bags from the vehicles' before leaving the scene. 

Rice has retained counsel, according to NFL reporter Josina Anderson on Sunday night, who adds that a statement is expected to follow on Monday.

The incident is believed to have happened at 6:20pm local time. The Lamborghini is thought to have crashed into the median wall and caused 'a chain reaction collision involving four other vehicles', before the two drivers ran from the scene.

A woman involved in the collision - identified as 27-year-old Kayla Quinn - said the accident put her four-year-old son in danger and the men speeding walked away from the crash site without sympathy. 

'No one stopped,' Quinn said to the DMN. 'We had children, like, we had kids, you know what I’m saying? 

'It’s the fact that there was no sympathy shown to where y’all can even have the decency to stop and check to make sure someone’s OK, someone’s alive, you know?

The 23-year-old Rice was essential part of the Chiefs team that won the Super Bowl last season

'I’m just blessed that I was able to walk out of there because it could have been so much worse.' 

Quinn's son was checked out by paramedics at the scene of the accident and was deemed to be alright.

Rice grew up in the Fort Worth suburb of North Richland Hills, Texas and spent all four years of his college career 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. 

He set a franchise rookie playoff record with 130 receiving yards in January's 26-7 playoff win over Miami Dolphins, earning huge praise from Travis Kelce.

Mahomes, Rice and Hollywood Brown were recently practicing together in the offseason 

'I'm proud of him,' Kelce said. 'I think he's come a long way, and I think he's still ascending as a player in this offense. It's just been fun to see him rise to the occasion and really just catapult us in a lot of ways both in the pass game and run game.'

Patrick Mahomes is also an admirer and heaped praise on his teammate after Kansas City's comeback win over Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8.

'He’s a guy who wants it. That’s the biggest thing. He wants to be great,' Mahomes said. 'He has a chance to be a great receiver in this league, and we’re going to continue to push him to be that.'

Mahomes and Rice were also practicing together in the offseason earlier in March, with focus already turning the upcoming season where the Chiefs will target an unprecedent Super Bowl 'three-peat'.
