Chiefs' Rashee Rice Sentenced After Dallas Street Racing Crash
So, let’s talk about Rashee Rice—the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver who's been all over the headlines lately, but not for football. On July 17, 2025, Rice pleaded guilty to two felony charges tied to a wild high-speed crash in Dallas that happened back in March 2024. It’s a serious turn of events that’s got fans, the NFL, and frankly, the entire sports world talking.
Here’s what went down: Rice, just 24 years old at the time, was driving a Lamborghini Urus on North Central Expressway in Dallas, reportedly hitting speeds of 119 mph—just seconds before losing control and causing a massive chain-reaction crash involving six cars. This wasn’t just a minor fender-bender; it sent at least four people to the hospital and left others dealing with the fallout. And instead of sticking around to help or exchange information, Rice and the other occupants fled the scene on foot.
Rice admitted guilt to two third-degree felony charges: collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury. As part of a plea deal, he’s been sentenced to five years of deferred probation and 30 days in jail. Plus, he was ordered to pay over $115,000 in restitution to cover victims’ medical costs.

In a statement through his attorney—Texas State Senator Royce West—Rice said the crash has led to “a lot of sleepless nights” and expressed deep remorse. He urged drivers to respect the road and avoid making the same mistakes, saying, “I am profoundly sorry for the physical damages to person and property. I fully apologize for the harm I caused to innocent drivers and their families.”
Dallas County DA John Creuzot made it clear that actions like these come with consequences, especially when someone with Rice’s fame acts so recklessly. He called it a miracle that no lives were lost and emphasized the responsibility that comes with having a public platform.
What’s next for Rice? That’s still a bit unclear. The NFL hasn’t announced any disciplinary action yet, but a multi-game suspension seems likely. He’s also facing at least two civil lawsuits, and his legal issues might not be over just yet.
Rice is recovering from a season-ending knee injury and is expected to return to the field for the 2025 NFL season, with training camp kicking off soon. But whether or not he’ll be playing right away remains to be seen.
One thing’s for sure—this is a wake-up call. Talent doesn’t make anyone immune from accountability, and Rashee Rice is learning that the hard way.
