An arrest warrant was issued for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice for his alleged role in a car crash on a Texas expressway last month.

Rice, 23, was charged with one count each of aggravated assault and a collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of a collision involving injury, police said Wednesday.

Rice was driving a Lamborghini, and Theodore Knox, 21, was driving a Corvette on North Central Expressway in Dallas March 30, police said. Authorities said the drivers were speeding, lost control of the vehicles and crashed into four other vehicles.

"We continue to monitor developments in the matter," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told Pro Football Talk.

Four people were injured in the crash.

Rice apologized for his role in the incident and wrote on Instagram that he took "full responsibility" for his involvement.
