Legal troubles are continuing to mount for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice. A new lawsuit in Texas is seeking over one-million dollars in actual damages and ten-million dollars in punitive damages by a pair of people who claim to have been injured in a six-vehicle crash last month in Dallas.
The plaintiffs allege that Rice and SMU wideout Teddy Knox raced their vehicles at high speeds well beyond the speed limit, which led to the six-vehicle crash.
According to police, Rice and Knox are both facing one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury.
Rice is out on bond after his arrest on Thursday for charges related to the crash. The 23-year-old athlete turned himself in to the Glenn Heights Police Department and bonded out.
Dallas police say Rice and Knox were driving a Lamborghini and a Corvette when they caused a hit-and-run pileup on the North Central Expressway. SMU has suspended Knox from the football team.
