Rashee Rice and Teddy Knox are being sued in Texas for over $11 million in damages by two people who say they were injured in a crash last month in Dallas.
The plaintiffs, Edvard Petrovskiy and Irina Gromova, allege that Rice and Knox deliberately raced their vehicles at speeds well beyond the posted limits and caused the six-vehicle crash that led to their injuries.
Rice, a wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, was the leaseholder of both vehicles and was driving one at the time of the crash. Knox, a football player and former teammate of Rice’s at SMU Mustangs, was driving the other.
According to police, Rice and Knox are each facing one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury.
Knox has been suspended by SMU. Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid wouldn’t say whether the Chiefs were planning on having Rice participate in their offseason program in Kansas City. Reid said that he wants to keep gathering information from law enforcement regarding the situation and plans to “let the process take place.”
