Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years’ probation on Thursday. Authorities said he and another driver traveling at high speeds in sports cars caused a chain-reaction crash involving multiple vehicles and causing injuries on a Dallas highway last year.
Rice pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury.
Rice was driving a Lamborghini Urus SUV at 119 mph when he made “multiple aggressive maneuvers around traffic” and struck other vehicles. Prosecutors said that after the crash, Rice failed to check on the welfare of those in the other vehicles and fled on foot.
A Dallas district court judge ruled that Rice can serve the 30 days at any point during the probationary period. He is also expected to receive a multigame suspension from the NFL.
