Rashee Rice is facing criminal charges after his involvement in a recent car crash.

After Dallas police issued an arrest warrant Wednesday for the Kansas City Chiefs player for his connection in a high-speed crash in Texas last month, Rashee reportedly turned himself in on Thursday. He was taken to a nearby regional jail.

The wide receiver, who celebrated a Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers only a month prior, was driving a Lamborghini in Dallas on March 30 when a chain reaction collision involving four other vehicles occurred, according to a a statement from Dallas police.

Rice was charged with one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury in connection to the incident, according to police. He was not the only football player allegedly involved, however.

Authorities believe Southern Methodist University player Teddy Knox was driving a Corvette in the crash and charged him with the same offenses as Rice.

Police previously told CNN the occupants of both cars ran from the scene without stopping to determine if anyone needed medical help or providing their information. Authorities said no major injuries were reported, according to E! News , though two people were treated at the scene and two others being transported to a hospital for evaluation.
