A Dallas couple injured in the hit-and-run collision Saturday allegedly involving Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has hired an attorney and is considering their legal options.
The pair were reportedly traveling to a friend’s 50th birthday party when two vehicles, one allegedly containing Rice, slammed into their white Lexus SUV.
The couple’s car reportedly spun across the highway until it hit a wall. The two were reportedly taken to a hospital and are now recovering at home.
A close source said, “They’re angry at the situation. From our perspective and their perspective, it doesn’t really matter who the people are but just the human decency element of it — the decent thing to do is to make sure that no one is harmed and comply with your legal obligations.”
Other victims in the crash reportedly include a 27-year-old and her 4-year-old son, whose Hyundai Accent was left “un-drivable” and a separate victim in an Uber that got T-boned.
Rice released a statement Monday confirming he was involved in the crash, is cooperating with authorities, and “will take all necessary steps to address this situation responsibly.”
