Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is being sought by Dallas police after a car owned or leased by him was involved in a multi-car accident Saturday night, according to multiple reports.

Police told The Dallas Morning News they believe two cars — a Corvette and a Lamborghini — were street racing around 6:20 p.m. on Saturday near the Lovers Lane exit of the North Central Expressway. The two cars allegedly crashed and caused a six-vehicle accident. Both drivers ran, per police. Two people were treated with minor injuries on the scene and two were treated for minor injuries at a local hospital, per Lone Star Live.

Rice, the Chiefs' second-round pick in 2023, is believed to be the driver of the Corvette, police told The Morning News. There have been no reports of Rice in the Dallas County Jail as of Sunday morning.

WFAA obtained and released traffic cam footage of the accident:

Neither representatives for Rice nor the Chiefs have publicly commented on these reports. A Police spokesperson has not officially named Rice a suspect in any crime, per WFAA.

Rice grew up outside of Fort Worth, Texas, in North Richland Hills. He went to college near Dallas at SMU. Rice caught 79 passes for 938 yards and seven touchdowns in his first year with the team.
