Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice surrendered to police Thursday after he was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run car wreck that injured four people.
His appearance came a day after a warrant was issued for his arrest on eight charges related to the crash last month in Dallas.
Police in Dallas, Texas, said two speeding cars, a Lamborghini and Corvette, caused “a chain reaction collision” on 30 March, as Breitbart News reported.
Four people received treatment as a result of the accident, including two people who were hospitalized.
Rice’s charges include aggravated assault and collision involving serious bodily injury.
