DALLAS, TX — Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is facing mounting legal troubles after being sued by multiple victims in connection with a high-speed crash that occurred on March 30, 2024, on U.S. 75 North in Dallas.
Civil Lawsuits Filed
On May 9, 2025, Kayla Quinn filed a lawsuit in Dallas County against Rice and co-defendant Theodore Knox. According to court filings, Rice was driving a Lamborghini Urus and Knox was behind the wheel of a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray when the two began racing at high speeds. The complaint states that after consuming alcohol, the men engaged in dangerous driving that resulted in a multi-car crash. Quinn and her minor son, returning from the Dallas Zoo, were among the injured. The lawsuit alleges gross negligence, negligence per se, and criminal conduct.
Quinn claims the defendants fled the scene after exiting their damaged vehicles, ignoring injured bystanders. A dismissal for want of prosecution hearing in her case is scheduled for August 20, 2025, in the 160th District Court.
Another civil lawsuit was filed on April 11, 2024, by Edvard Petrovskiy and Irina Gromova, who allege serious injuries from the same crash. Their suit details trauma including brain injury, facial lacerations requiring stitches, and internal bleeding. They have requested a jury trial, which is scheduled to begin on January 20, 2026.
Kathryn Kuykendall, a rideshare passenger also involved in the crash, joined that lawsuit as an intervenor. On July 16, 2025, Rice reached a settlement with Kuykendall, agreeing to pay $1 million plus attorney’s fees.
Criminal Sentencing
In addition to the civil lawsuits, Rice was criminally charged with Aggravated Assault in connection with the crash. On July 17, 2025, a Dallas County court sentenced him to 30 days in jail and five years of probation. The judge ruled the jail time may be served at any point during the probationary period. Rice’s case is classified as deferred adjudication, meaning it will be dismissed upon successful completion of his probation.
Court records confirm Rice was traveling at 119 miles per hour at the time of the collision.
