Dallas police said Monday that a total of six vehicles were involved in an accident involving a Lamborghini and a Corvette racing in the northbound lanes of the North Central Expressway just before 6:30 p.m. Saturday. The incident was captured on dashcam video by driver Bill Neighbors.

Rice posted on his Instagram on Wednesday that he takes “full responsibility” for his role in the accident.
Police said the drivers of the Corvette and Lamborghini were speeding in the far left lane when they lost control, causing the Lamborghini to veer onto the shoulder and strike the median, causing a chain-reaction collision.
West said Rice, 23, “will do everything in his power to get their lives back to as normal as possible in terms of injuries and property damage.”
Police said Thursday that investigators were interviewing witnesses, victims and others who may have been involved. Kayla Quinn of Plano was one of the victims. She and her child were driving her car when her Hyundai Accent was disabled after Rice's Corvette crashed into her car.
Kyle Coker, an attorney for the Dallas-based exotic car rental company, said Rice leased the Lamborghini from Classic Lifestyle.
Rice was born in Philadelphia but grew up in North Richland Hills. He played college football at nearby SMU and made a big splash in his senior season in 2022, when the wide receiver caught the attention of his NFL team. The Chiefs drafted him in the second round of last year's draft, and he quickly became one of the only reliable options in the Chiefs' passing game.
