Report: Rashee Rice linked to hit-and-run crash in Dallas
DALLAS - Dallas police are investigating a multi-vehicle crash that left four people injured over the weekend. One of the vehicles is believed to be connected to an NFL star and former SMU Mustangs player.
The crash happened around 6:30 p.m. Saturday as a Lamborghini and a Corvette were speeding north on the Central Expressway.
Police said both drivers lost control. The driver of the Lamborghini went onto the shoulder and then hit the median wall.
That caused a chain reaction crash with four other vehicles and the Corvette.
Two people were treated for injuries at the scene. Two others were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
After the crash, Dallas police said everyone in the Lamborghini and Corvette walked away from the damaged vehicles without talking to any of the victims.
Photos obtained by TMZ Sports show them leaving.
FOX 4 spoke with a lawyer representing one person injured in the crash.
"When people run away from a problem they caused, you imagine they run in the other direction. They walked right past the people they hurt, right past the people with cameras. It’s very very strange but that was the quickest way to get to a ramp," said Marc Lenahan, the owner of Lenahan Law Firm.
According to TMZ, one of the vehicles involved in the crash is registered to Super Bowl champion and former SMU Mustang Rashee Rice.
Lenahan said the Lamborghini is a rental vehicle.
