Rashee Rice arrest warrant issued by Dallas police 'and he intends to turn himself in' with the Chiefs Super Bowl winner facing EIGHT charges for multi-vehicle crash he fled

Dallas police have issued an arrest warrant for Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl winner Rashee Rice, who reportedly plans to turn himself in for causing a multi-vehicle car crash in Dallas in March.

The 23-year-old Rice faces eight charges in total - six counts of collision involving bodily injury, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and one count of aggravated assault.

Josina Anderson of CBS Sports says Rice plans to turn himself in and that process is being finalized. Rice crashed his Lamborghini on a Dallas highway and police suspect that he was racing it.

Arrest warrants were also issued Theodore Knox, 21, who was driving the other speeding sports car, a Corvette, police said. Police said that arrest warrants have been issued for Knox for one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury. 

Police said that the passengers in two speeding sports cars who left the scene will not be charged and that Rice and Knox were not currently in custody.

Dashcam footage of the accident shows when Rice crashed in Dallas on Saturday

Last week, Rice posted a statement on social media taking responsibility for what happened. 

'Today I met with Dallas PD investigators regarding Saturday's accident,' Rice said in his statement. 

'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.'

Passengers in the vehicles are not going to be charged but Theodore Knox, the man driving the Corvette that crashed into Rice's Lamborghini, will be. 

Police suspected Rice was racing the Corvette at the time of the collision. They have previously said the drivers of the Corvette and Lamborghini were speeding in the far left lane when they lost control and the Lamborghini traveled onto the shoulder and hit the center median wall, causing the chain collision.

After the smash had happened, three men - including Rice - were filmed walking away from the wreckage without stopping.

The police report revealed that 10.8 grams of marijuana was found in the vehicle that Rice's attorney has confirmed he was driving.

In Texas, possession of up to two ounces of marijuana is a Class B misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to 180 days in jail and fine of up to $2,000.

Wide receiver Rice - pictured in action for the Chiefs last season - grew up in Fort Worth, Texas 

'We continue to monitor developments in the matter,' chief NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy was quoted as saying by Pro Football Talk after Wednesday night's developments. 

Rice was born in Philadelphia but grew up in the Fort Worth, Texas, suburb of North Richland Hills. He played college football at nearby Southern Methodist University, where a breakout senior season in 2022 put the wide receiver on the radar of NFL teams.

The Chiefs selected him in the second round of last year's draft, and he quickly became one of the only dependable options in their passing game.

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.

'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.'
