On April 3rd, Rice released a statement admitting his involvement in the major crash. The former SMU standout, who is now a budding star with the Chiefs, apologized to all who were impacted by the incident.
"Today I met with Dallas PD investigators regarding Saturday's accident," Rice wrote on his Instagram. "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 incident."
Two drivers were taken to a local hospital with minor injuries and two more drivers received treatment from Dallas Fire Rescue at the scene, per reports.
Chiefs president Mark Donovan said the team was aware of the incident and was awaiting more information.
Rice, 23, grew up in North Richland Hills before starring at SMU and then becoming a second-round pick of the Chiefs in the 2023 NFL Draft. SMU is located in the same area of the car crash. He helped the Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs to a Super Bowl win as he caught six passes for 39 yards in a win over the San Francisco 49ers.
