Chiefs' Rice and SMU's Knox facing $10M lawsuit.
On March 30 in Dallas, a high-speed car crash involving former college teammates Rashee Rice and Teddy Knox made headlines. Rice, a wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs and Knox, a cornerback for Southern Methodist University, are now facing a lawsuit from two of the victims injured in the incident.

According to reports, Irina Gromova and Edvard Petrovskiy are suing the two football players for over $10 million. The lawsuit was filed on April 11 in Dallas County, Texas, alleging that Rice and Knox drove their vehicles at dangerous speeds and failed to check on the victims after the crash.

The lawsuit states that despite the injured victims calling for help and trying to escape from their damaged vehicles, Rice and Knox chose to ignore them and flee the scene. The victims and bystanders were left shocked and in need of assistance, but the football players showed no responsibility.

The victims are seeking $10 million in punitive damages and $1 million for medical expenses, physical impairment, lost earnings, mental distress, and property damage. The lawsuit also mentions the severe injuries sustained by the victims, including brain trauma, facial lacerations, bruises, disfigurement, and internal bleeding.

After the Dallas police issued warrants for their arrest, Rice turned himself in on April 11 and was later released on bond. The National Football League is keeping a close eye on the case, and Knox has been suspended by the Southern Methodist athletic department.

Both men are facing charges of aggravated assault, collision involving serious bodily injury, and multiple counts of collision involving injury. The accident involved a Lamborghini and a Corvette, with the latter allegedly speeding and losing control, causing a chain reaction collision with four other vehicles.

The crash resulted in minor injuries for four people, with two of them being taken to the hospital. The police reported that Rice, Knox, and others present at the scene ran away without stopping to offer medical assistance or provide their information.

This shocking incident has caused great harm to the victims, both physically and emotionally, and they are seeking justice for the negligent actions of Rice and Knox. The case is being closely monitored, and the consequences for Rice are yet to be determined.
