The Dallas Police Department had been searching for Rice, 23, since Saturday because a Chevrolet Corvette involved in the high-speed accident was believed to be registered in Rice’s name. “Rashee is cooperating with local authorities and will take all necessary steps to address this situation responsibly," attorney Royce West said in a statement to PEOPLE. While police have yet to confirm the identities of anyone involved in the accident, the attorney said that Rice’s “thoughts are with everyone impacted by the automobile accident on Saturday.” Authorities previously told PEOPLE that after the collision “occupants of the Lamborghini and the Corvette all ran from the scene without stopping to determine if anyone needed medical help or providing their information.” Rashee Rice during the 2024 Super Bowl on Feb. 11.
