Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is being sued for $1 million in damages by two victims involved in the Dallas car crash this month.
Rice and SMU cornerback Teddy Knox are being sued by Edvard Petrovskiy and Irina Gromova, whose attorneys filed a lawsuit in Dallas County Court on Thursday, according to FOX 4 News.
Petrovskiy and Gromova were in a 2022 Lexus 350 SUV when they were hit by Rice and Knox. An affidavit obtained by the Dallas Morning News found that the Lamborghini Urus, believed to have been driven by Rice, was traveling at 119 mph just seconds before the March 30 collision.
Knox, who was reportedly driving a Chevrolet Corvette, was traveling at 116 mph but slowed to 91 mph just a second before the crash.
