Rashee Rice crash: Teddy Knox, the other driver in the incident with the Kansas City Chiefs star, SUSPENDED by SMU after Dallas police issue arrest warrant for the cornerback

Southern Methodist University has suspended cornerback Teddy Knox for his involvement in the car crash that led to an arrest warrant for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rahsee Rice in Dallas this week.

Two vehicles were linked to Rice, 23, during the crash. The cars were speeding on the expressway and lost control, resulting in a crash that involved four other vehicles. The six occupants of both cars fled the scene before authorities arrived.

On Thursday, SMU released a statement to announce the disciplinary actions taken towards Knox.

'SMU has been notified by Dallas Police of an arrest warrant for Theodore 'Teddy' Knox, a student-athlete on the Mustang football team,' the statement read. 'Knox has been suspended from the team. SMU takes these allegations seriously.'

'Federal student privacy laws prevent the University from discussing details involving student disciplinary proceedings.'
