Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has been sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years of probation for his role in a high-speed car accident that occurred in the Dallas area earlier this year. The incident, which happened in March 2024, involved a deadly collision between multiple vehicles, including a Lamborghini and Corvette, traveling over 119 mph. Rice, who was the sole authorized driver of the Lamborghini, entered a guilty plea to felony racing and causing bodily injury. The judge’s ruling could lead to a potential NFL suspension, which may result in Rice missing games during the 2025 season.
Rice had already paid over $115,000 in restitution for the victims’ medical expenses and has been cooperating with investigators since the incident. The crash has sparked renewed discussions about athlete responsibility and the potential consequences of reckless driving, especially on and off the field. Rice released a statement shortly after the accident, expressing his willingness to take responsibility and cooperate with authorities.
