An arrest warrant affidavit claims that SMU football player Teddy Knox and Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice were speeding at about 120 miles per hour seconds before they caused a six-car collision on a Texas highway that left many people injured last month.
According to the affidavit acquired by The Dallas Morning News, the Chevrolet Corvette, purportedly driven by Knox, was going at 116 mph 7.5 seconds prior to the crash on March 30, while the Lamborghini Urus, thought to have been driven by Rice, was moving at 119 mph 4.5 seconds earlier.

It was alleged that the Corvette had decelerated to 91 mph immediately before collision.
The 23-year-old Rice brought himself in to the Glenn Heights Police Department on Thursday. Later that day, he was released from the DeSoto Regional Jail after being booked in. The NFL player is charged with six charges of collision with harm, one offense of serious bodily injury, and one count of aggravated assault.
On Friday, Knox, an SMU sophomore, handed himself up for the same allegations.
Knox has been suspended from the football program, the university announced on Thursday. Citing student privacy regulations, the university declined to disclose further.

The statement states that the drivers of the cars “both performed incorrect evasive action” while operating their vehicles, endangering the lives and seriously injuring many people.
Police claim that after the collision, Rice and Knox fled without asking whether anyone needed medical assistance or gathering their information. It is said that there would be no charges brought against the occupants of the cars that fled the scene.
The collision caused multiple injuries to victims. There were head, neck, and back injuries among them. An affidavit states that one driver suffered “severe bodily injuries.”
