A vehicle that is believed to be registered or leased to Rice - the former SMU standout who is now a budding star with the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs -was involved in a crash on North Central Expressway at about 6:20 p.m. Saturday.

Two drivers were taken to a local hospital with minor injuries and two more drivers received treatment from Dallas Fire Rescue at the scene, per reports.

Rice's statement comes after Dallas Police were searching for the rookie Rice in connection with the accident.

As of Wednesday, the Dallas Police are still investigating the incident. Chiefs president Mark Donovan said the team was aware of the incident and was awaiting more information.

Rice, 23, grew up in North Richland Hills before starring at SMU and then becoming a second-round pick of the Chiefs in the 2023 NFL Draft. SMU is located in the same area of the car crash. He helped the Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs to a Super Bowl win as he caught six passes for 39 yards in a win over the San Francisco 49ers.
