According to a summary of the accident sent Sunday to USA TODAY Sports by Dallas Police Department spokeswoman Kristin Lowman, police determined that two drivers, one in a Corvette and the other in a Lamborghini, "were speeding in the far-left lane," before the drivers lost control. The Lamborghini then veered onto the shoulder and hit the center median wall, causing a "chain reaction collision" that involved four other cars.

Police said the drivers and occupants from both the Corvette and Lamborghini "all ran from the scene without stopping to determine if anyone needed medical help or providing their information."

Two drivers were treated on the scene for minor injuries, while two passengers from a different car were taken to a local hospital, also for minor injuries.

A man who was driving the road Saturday sent his dash-cam video to the Dallas Morning News, confirming the police account of the accident.

In the clip, the Corvette and Lamborghini appear to speed past on the left side before the Lamborghini appears to swipe a white Hyundai Accent. The Corvette collides with a van, which spins around. Three people appear to exit the Lamborghini and walk away.

While claiming responsibility in his statements, Rice has not elaborated on what his role was in the crash. According to ESPN, Rice had been leasing the Lamborghini from an exotic car rental company, whose contractual rental agreement would've stipulated Rice to be the only person allowed to drive the car. According to the Dallas Morning News, police said the Corvette was believed to be registered to Rice.

Rice was born in Philadelphia, but is from North Richland Hills, a suburb west of Dallas. Rice played football at Richland High School and then played collegiately at Southern Methodist University, which is located about a mile from the site of the car crash.

Rice was a rookie in 2023 for Kansas City and caught 79 passes for 938 yards and seven touchdowns, becoming an important offensive piece as the Chiefs went on their run to a Super Bowl victory. Rice's regular season totals for receptions and yards ranked second on the team, behind only tight end Travis Kelce, and his receiving touchdown total led the team.
