DALLAS (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice rented a Lamborghini gaming application vehicle that the government says was one of two game cars that caused a chain-reaction crash on a Dallas highway, an attorney for the company that owns the vehicle said Tuesday.
Dallas police have not proven whether Rice was involved in Saturday’s crash, which left others with minor injuries. The occupants of the Lamborghini and the other high-speed vehicle, a Corvette, left without determining if anyone needed medical attention or offering any information, police said. A total of six cars were involved in the crash.
An attorney for Rice said this week that the NFL player is cooperating with authorities, but did not elaborate.
Rice leased the Lamborghini to The Classic Lifestyle, said Kyle Coker, an attorney for the Dallas-based exotic car rental company. He said that contractually, Rice would have been the only user allowed to drive the vehicle, which rents for about $1,750 a year. day and is worth about $250,000.
Police said the drivers of a Corvette and a Lamborghini were racing in the leftmost lane of the North Central Expressway when they lost control. The Lamborghini fell onto the shoulder and crashed into the center wall, causing a chain-reaction collision. Four other people in the other cars were treated for minor injuries.
Police said Tuesday they were still racing to identify the suspects. Police have not released any information about those wanted, adding whether Rice is among them.
Rice’s attorney, Sen. Royce West, said Rice “will take all mandatory steps to responsibly address this situation. “West did not answer questions Tuesday and did not say whether Rice was driving one of the vehicles.
Rice, a member of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl-winning team, is from the Dallas area. He is a member of SMU and grew up in the North Richland Hills suburb of Fort Worth.
