Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice’s car was involved in a six-vehicle crash Saturday, according to Dallas police.

The Dallas Morning News reported that police are searching for Rice after a Chevrolet Corvette and a Lamborghini were involved in a crash that left four people with minor injuries.

Police said the Corvette was registered in his name, but it's unclear whether Rice was present at the time of the incident.

Here’s what we know:

Where did the crash happen?

Dallas police responded to the crash site about 6:25 p.m. Saturday in the 6600 block of North Central Expressway near SMU. The Morning News reported that the Corvette and the Lamborghini were speeding in the far left lanes near University Boulevard, according to police.

"The occupants of the Lamborghini and the Corvette all ran from the scene without stopping to determine if anyone needed medical help or providing their information," a police summary provided to USA TODAY Sports said.

Photos from TMZ showed five men walking on the side of the highway as they were leaving the scene of the crash.

Who witnessed the crash?

Bill Nabors, who was driving on the Expressway on Saturday, claims to have seen the cars racing and the aftermath of the crash. Nabors shared dash cam footage of the wreck with TMZ. The video shows Nabors traveling in the second left-most lane when two vehicles zip past him.

The Morning News said Nabors characterized the incident as “unbelievably scary.” Nabors kept driving because he didn’t think it was safe to stop on the road as vehicles piled up behind him.

Nabors' car was not damaged.

Victims involved in the crash

There were no deaths at the site of the crash. Dallas police said two drivers were treated there for minor injuries and two other people were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

Police said that the "investigation and identification of the suspects are both ongoing." They said they want to speak with Rice about the incident and are still looking for the men who left the scene.

Rice played for SMU before being selected by the Chiefs in the second round of the 2023 NFL draft.
