Kansas City receiver Rice cooperating with police after car crash in Dallas, attorney says

An attorney for Kansas City player Rashee Rice said Monday that the wide receiver is cooperating with authorities after a speeding Corvette and Lamborghini sport utility vehicle caused a chain-reaction crash on a busy Dallas highway over the weekend.

A total of six vehicles were involved in the crash shortly before 6:30 p.m. Saturday in the northbound lanes of North Central Expressway, Dallas police said Monday. The people in the Lamborghini and Corvette left the scene without determining if anyone needed medical attention or providing their information, police said. Two of the drivers in the other vehicles were treated at the scene for minor injuries, and two occupants of another vehicle were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

Dallas television station WFAA, citing unnamed sources, reported that one of the speeding vehicles was registered to Rice. CBC Sports has not independently confirmed the report. Police said Monday morning that they were working to identify the occupants of the Corvette and Lamborghini but did not release any information about the people they were seeking and would not confirm reports that Rice was among them.

Police spokesperson Kristin Lowman said early Monday evening that she could confirm that police had "spoken with members of legal counsel but have not conducted interviews with potentially involved individuals in Saturday's crash."

State Sen. Royce West, an attorney for Rice, said in a statement Monday that his client's thoughts were with everyone impacted by the accident and that he was cooperating with local authorities.

West said in the statement that Rice "will take all necessary steps to address this situation responsibly."
