Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice and SMU football player Teddy Knox were allegedly driving nearly 120 miles per hour just seconds before causing a six-car crash on a Texas highway that left several people injured last month, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. 

The affidavit obtained by The Dallas Morning News stated that a Lamborghini Urus, believed to have been driven by Rice, was traveling 119 mph 4.5 seconds before the March 30 collision, while the Chevrolet Corvette, allegedly driven by Knox, was traveling 116 mph 7.5 seconds before the collision.

Rice, 23, turned himself in on Thursday to the Glenn Heights Police Department. He was booked into the Regional Jail in DeSoto and released later that day. The NFL player is facing one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury.

Knox, a sophomore at SMU, turned himself in on Friday on the same charges.
