DALLAS – An arrest warrant for former SMU receiver Rashee Rice was issued Wednesday by the Dallas Police Department in regard to the multi-car accident on March 30.

In a press release, Dallas Police state their investigation determined two drivers of a Chevrolet Corvette and Lamborghini were “speeding in the far-left lane of North Central Expressway, near University Boulevard. The drivers caused a chain reaction collision involving four other vehicles.”

Rice, who has admitted to driving the Lamborghini, is charged with one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury, and six counts of collision involving injury. All of the charges are felonies.

Theodore Knox, 21, was driving the Corvette in the crash and has received the same charges as Rice. There is a Teddy Knox listed on SMU’s football roster and a player profile on 247sports.com lists a Theodore Knox as a member of the Mustangs’ team. Both profiles provide similar height and weight, as well as the same high school, The Woodlands High School, north of Houston.

Dallas PD said in their release neither Rice nor Knox were in custody. They also added none of the passengers will be charged with any crimes.

Last week, Rice’s attorney, state Sen. Royce West, confirmed Rice was driving the Lamborghini at the time of the accident and Rice himself took responsibility for his actions in an Instagram post that same day.

“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,” Rice posted.
