TEXAS — In a news conference on Thursday, attorney Royce West, who represents Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice, said the NFL star was driving the Lamborghini that was involved in a hit-and-run crash in Dallas on Saturday. 

Four people sustained minor injuries in the crash.

“He’s a young man that made a mistake,” West said Thursday, adding that Rice’s “heart goes out” to those who were injured. 

Rice was leasing the Lamborghini from The Classic Lifestyle and was racing along with a Corvette on North Central Expressway, Dallas police said.

Police have said the drivers of the Corvette and Lamborghini were speeding in the far left lane when they lost control and the Lamborghini traveled onto the shoulder and hit the center median wall, causing the chain collision.

Why Rice left the crash Saturday was “a good question that's still being investigated," said Rice’s attorney, state Sen. Royce West, but he declined to elaborate. West expects charges to be filed against Rice, who was driving a Lamborghini sport utility vehicle, he said at a news conference without his client.

The driver of the Corvette also left without determining whether anyone needed medical attention or providing their information, police said. The Corvette belongs to Rice, West said Thursday, but no information has been released on the driver.

Rice wrote in an Instagram story on Wednesday, “Today I met with Dallas PD investigators regarding Saturday’s accident. I take full responsibility for my part in this matter and will continue to cooperate with the necessary authorities. I sincerely apologize to everyone impacted in Saturday’s accident.”

West on Thursday said Rice will handle his responsibilities regarding the car wreck.
