Dallas Police want to question Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice over multi-vehicle crash
DALLAS — Dallas Police are looking for two suspects after a crash involving six vehicles Saturday night on North Central Expressway.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Dallas Police want to question former SMU football player and current Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice regarding the accident.
On behalf of Rice, his attorney, Royce West of West & Associates, released the following statement on Monday to CBS News Texas:
"On behalf of Rashee Rice, his thoughts are with everyone impacted by the automobile accident on Saturday.
Rashee is cooperating with local authorities and will take all necessary steps to address this situation responsibly."
Dallas police say they responded to the northbound lanes of North Central Expressway near University Boulevard around 6:30 p.m. after two drivers — one in a Corvette and one in a Lamborghini — lost control while speeding in the far left lanes. The Lamborghini driver reportedly hit the center median wall, which caused four other vehicles to collide into each other.
Two people were treated at the scene for minor injuries and two others were taken to the hospital for their minor injuries.
For Kayla Quinn and her 4-year-old son, it took seconds for the ride home to turn into a multi-car pile-up.
"And I'm just driving, [minding] my business, and next thing you know, I got hit on the left-hand side," said Quinn. "I was just trying to make sure that my baby was okay," Quinn said. "He was crying. He was shaking the entire time."
Quinn said her car was totaled, but she and her son had only minor injuries.
The people in the Lamborghini and the Corvette all ran from the scene, according to police reports.
"It makes me mad because the guys... no one stopped," said Quinn. "No one stopped to even check."
Marc Lenahan, of Marc Lenahan Lawfirm, represents one of the victims of the crash.
"They walked right past people who could have needed emergency medical care," said Lenahan. "My client wants to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else, but that's a bit of a pipe dream for now. We need to hold them accountable."
