Update, 10:58 a.m. ET: Kelli Smith of the Dallas Morning News reports that the crash in question was caused by a Corvette and a Lamborghini racing down the expressway. They caused a six-car crash and both drivers fled the scene. Smith also reports that a call sheet from the incident and the Dallas Police Department indicates that Rashee Rice is the suspected driver of the Corvette who fled the scene.

Original Post: ESPN's Adam Schefter continued the reporting on Sunday morning that the police have not found Rice as they continue searching for the 23-year-old Chiefs wide receiver. He was not listed in the Dallas County Jail records as of 6 a.m. CT, per the reports.

The Dallas Police and Dallas Morning News would not or could not confirm many details about the accident, including whether anyone was injured. However, a social media clip shared on X/Twitter from WFAA in Dallas reporting on an accident that is believed to be the one that involved Rice. In the news station's report, they divulge that one person involved in the accident was taken to the hospital.

Amid the lack of details, there is no word on if Rice himself was involved in the crash, only that a vehicle registered or leased to the Chiefs receiver was part of the accident.

Rice was a second-round pick by the Chiefs in the 2023 draft and emerged as the team's most reliable receiving target throughout the season. He attended Richland High School in Texas before going to college in Dallas as he played football for the SMU Mustangs.
