Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is facing legal troubles after being involved in a multi-vehicle car crash last week.
According to local Dallas news station WFAA, an arrest warrant has been officially issued for the Super Bowl champion.
The 23-year-old now faces eight charges in the case, including six counts of collision involving bodily injury, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury, and one count of aggravated assault, all of which are felonies, as stated in the arrest warrant.
The second-year wideout was involved in an accident in Dallas involving six vehicles last Saturday, March 30. Rice and his entourage ran away from the scene without checking on the victims.
