Police are searching for Kansas City Chiefs star wide receiver Rashee Rice in their investigation of a major accident Saturday in Dallas, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Citing law enforcement officials, the Dallas Morning News reported that a vehicle that is believed to be registered or leased to Rice was involved in a crash in northeast Dallas at around 6:20 p.m. local time Saturday.
A police call sheet obtained by the Dallas Morning News confirmed that officials are searching for Rice in connection with the accident. Police have not disclosed details of the accident or whether anyone was injured, according to the report.
As of Sunday morning, it was not clear whether Rice is facing charges, and his level of involvement in the accident also is unclear. Rice did not appear in Dallas County jail record as of 7:00 a.m. ET on Sunday.
Rice, 23, grew up in the Fort Worth suburb of North Richland Hills, Texas, and played all four years of his college career in Dallas at SMU before being drafted by the Chiefs in the second round last year.
The 6-foot-1 Rice emerged as Kansas City’s top wide receiver last season, finishing second on the team in receptions (79) and receiving yards (938) — behind only Travis Kelce — and a team-leading seven touchdown catches. He also had 26 catches for 262 yards and a touchdown during the Chiefs’ four-game postseason run en route to their second straight Super Bowl championship.
