A serious automobile accident in Dallas, Texas was a topic of serious discussion around the NFL this weekend after, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was allegedly connected with the incident. The report from the Dallas Morning News on Sunday morning revealed that a vehicle registered to him was involved in a crash.
In response to the speculation, Rice has hired attorney Royce West, who released a statement on the matter Monday afternoon, just a day after the alleged incident initially occurred.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter shared the statement on his X account.

Since yesterday, there haven’t been any concrete details to report amid the many assumptions swirling on social media. Rice’s involvement in the incident hasn’t been confirmed or denied by any parties involved and, for now, the statement posted by Schefter serves as the only acknowledgment of the incident by the star wide receiver.
As details become available, this story will be updated.
