NFL star Rashee Rice turns himself into police
By Bernd Debusmann Jr
NFL star Rashee Rice has turned himself into authorities after a warrant was issued for his arrest in connection with a high-speed car crash last month.
Earlier in April, Mr Rice, 23, said he takes “full responsibility” for the crash, which left four people injured in Dallas, Texas.
Mr Rice is now facing eight felony charges in connection with the accident.
The charges carry potential penalties of years in prison.
He was taken to jail after turning himself in, authorities told the BBC.
According to Dallas police, the two speeding cars involved in the accident – a Lamborghini and Corvette – caused a “chain reaction collision” that damaged four more cars.
Police told the BBC the occupants of both speeding cars ran from the scene of the crash.
An arrest warrant for Mr Rice, a wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, was issued on Wednesday.
