F'n idiot was driving 119 MPH.
from dallas.news.com:
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was driving 119 mph in the seconds before he caused a multivehicle crash that injured at least seven people last month, according to an arrest-warrant affidavit obtained by The Dallas Morning News.
The NFL player faces one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury, police said. His attorney did not respond to a request for comment Friday.
Rice, who officials have said admitted to driving one of two high-end sports cars that triggered the six-vehicle crash on March 30, was booked into a DeSoto jail Thursday after he turned himself into Glenn Heights police. He posted bail and was released shortly after.
Kristin Lowman, a Dallas police spokeswoman, has said the drivers of a Chevrolet Corvette and a Lamborghini Urus were speeding about 6:20 p.m. March 30 in the 6600 block of North Central Expressway, between Lovers Lane and University Boulevard, where each lost control.
The cars “made multiple aggressive maneuvers to get through traffic,” the affidavit said.
According to the affidavit, the Urus and the Corvette “both took faulty evasive action” to avoid hitting a sedan and other vehicles but came into contact with each other. The collision with the sedan caused a chain-reaction crash, the affidavit said, which continued to three other vehicles “in a matter of seconds.”
According to crash data cited in the affidavit, the Urus was traveling 119 mph 4.5 seconds before the collision. The Corvette was traveling 116 mph 7.5 seconds before the collision, but had slowed to 91 miles per hour about 1.5 seconds before.
The speed limit is 70 mph on that stretch of highway. Police wrote in the affidavit that the “reckless” driving put “multiple people at risk of loss of life and serious injury.”
Rice and four other men were seen on video leaving the scene after the crash. Police have said the men didn’t stop to see if anyone needed medical attention or provide any of their information.
Rice’s attorney, state Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, said at a news conference last week that the former Richland High School and SMU star was not trying to run or hide from anyone but didn’t offer any explanation for why his client left the scene.
