Chiefs' Rashee Rice Admits Driving Lamborghini in Dallas Hit-and-Run

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was driving the Lamborghini involved in a hit-and-run crash in Dallas last Saturday, his attorney said at a news conference Thursday.

Royce West, Rice's attorney, added that the wideout admitted to being behind the wheel at the time of the crash during an interview with the police.

Officers are still investigating why Rice left the scene and the wideout is "fully cooperating," West said.

Rice's representation has yet to communicate with the Chiefs in any capacity because facts are still unclear, per West.

The crash also reportedly left a 27-year-old and her 4-year-old son with an "un-drivable" Hyundai Accent.

West emphasized on Monday that Rice will take responsibility for making things right with the victims.

"Mr. Rice wants to make certain that it's understood and appreciated that he's going to do everything in his power to bring their life back to as normal as possible, in terms of injuries, in terms of property damage," West said. "And make certain that he is responsible for helping them to get through that particular part of this. Don't get us wrong, we understand that no one can help [the victims] get over the memories of being in an accident."

Rice released a statement Monday, apologizing for his role in the pile-up without specifying what he was responsible for.

"Today I met with Dallas PD investigators regarding Saturday's accident," Rice said on 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 accident."

Rice, 23, was a second-round draft pick by the Chiefs in 2023 out of Southern Methodist University. He recorded 79 receptions for 938 yards with seven touchdowns last season.

West answered multiple questions from reporters during the news conference. At one point, the attorney seemed to take issue with the line of questioning focusing on the accident instead of Rice's character and career accomplishments.
