The incident took place on Saturday, March 30, when Rice was in a Lamborghini that was reportedly racing a Corvette owned by a friend on the North Central Expressway in Dallas around 6:20 p.m.
The collision, which involved wrecking the Lamborghini, resulted in a significant impact, affecting multiple vehicles.
TMZ reports that Rice texted The Classic Lifestyle, the company that owns the Lamborghini he leases, to acknowledge his involvement in the crash.
Rice was the sole authorized driver of the vehicle, according to an attorney for Classic Lifestyle.
The crash, initiated by the loss of control of both the Lamborghini and the Corvette, led to a chain reaction collision involving four other vehicles, as per a police spokeswoman cited by the Dallas Morning News.

The Chiefs and the NFL are also conducting investigations into the matter. Team president Mark Donovan addressed the situation, highlighting the importance of gathering all the facts before making any determinations.
