The Super Bowl champion has found himself in trouble with the law.

Police are searching for Kansas City Chiefs breakout wide receiver Rashee Rice for his suspected involvement in a major car crash in Dallas, Texas. Authorities believe a vehicle Rice has in his name was involved in the incident, although it's unclear whether he was in the car. At 6:20 PM, local time on Saturday, a Corvette and a Lamborghini lost control while speeding on the highway causing a collision with four other vehicles.

“The drivers lost control and the Lamborghini traveled onto the shoulder and hit the center median wall, causing a chain reaction collision involving four other vehicles,” a spokesperson for the Dallas Police Department said in a statement to PEOPLE. “The 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.” Two drivers sustained minor injuries that were treated on the scene, while two others were transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
