KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice faces a third lawsuit in connection with a high-speed car crash in Dallas last year. The incident involved Rice allegedly driving his Lamborghini Urus at speeds reaching 119 mph, resulting in a six-vehicle collision.
The lawsuit, filed by Kayla Quinn, accuses Rice of “outrageous conduct.” She alleges that she experienced physical and emotional trauma from the crash, which occurred while she was driving home from the Dallas Zoo with her son. In her complaint, Quinn is seeking damages ranging from $250,000 to $1 million.
Rice faces eight criminal charges stemming from the incident, including aggravated assault. According to the lawsuit, Quinn claims that Theodore Knox, a former SMU football player, was racing Rice in a Corvette that was clocked at speeds of up to 116 mph at the time of the crash.
Eyewitness accounts indicate that Rice reported losing control of his Lamborghini, which led to the multi-vehicle accident. The lawsuit alleges both Rice and Knox had been drinking before the collision, raising questions about their responsibility for the damages.
Quinn’s complaint asserts that after the crash, both defendants fled the scene, leaving behind victims who were visibly injured. “Defendants and their passengers exited their exotic ‘supercars,’ gathered their belongings and briskly walked past their victims,” the suit states. It goes on to say that the defendants ignored pleas for help from those affected by their actions.
In a related development, two other victims of the crash, Edvard Petrovskiy and Irina Gromova, previously filed a separate lawsuit against Rice and Knox, seeking $10 million in damages for their injuries.
As of now, representatives for both Rice and Knox have not provided comments regarding the lawsuits.
This lawsuit adds to the challenges Rice faces, as he is waiting for the eight criminal charges to be officially presented. Each of these cases highlights the serious consequences of reckless driving and the legal ramifications that can follow such incidents.
