Chiefs WR Rashee Rice issues personal apology after car accident in Dallas

An investigation is underway after a car accident last weekend that involved Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice. The crash injured four people and led to the young receiver being sought by Dallas police for questioning after it was reported that one of the vehicles was registered in his name.

Rice had a statement released on his behalf earlier this week from his lawyer but decided to speak personally via his Instagram Stories.

“Today, I met with Dallas PD investigators regarding Saturday’s incident,” Rice wrote. “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.”

According to league spokesman Brian McCarthy, the NFL is monitoring the situation. Chiefs president Mark Donovan took a similar approach when speaking on KCMO this week: “We’ll get to the bottom of it, we’ll gather the facts, and we’ll react accordingly.”

The Chiefs are moving like business as usual until more details are released during the investigation. The 2023 rookie standout is working with authorities but faces an uncertain future until rulings are made.
