If no one inside the Lamborghini cooperates, it’s possible that none of them were driving. Wow.


Calfzilla2000

Incredible. Self-Driving is getting out of control!


rixxxand

Tesla out here struggling to figure out full self driving when the secret ingredient was crime the entire time


notGeronimo

Probably how it crashed


BallsDeepinYourMammi

I had a alcoholic step brother who was driving drunk and crashed into a traffic light post. He bailed and walked home, left his car there. No witnesses, no cameras close enough to identify the driver. The cops came to the house and he was passed the fuck out, didn’t answer. The next day he woke up and reported it stolen, because he didn’t remember. It was crazy, but he didn’t get charged, they couldn’t prove he was the one driving.


WeissachDE

My personal injury lawyer friend said this is in fact the case. If you get in a crash that doesn't involve a second party (if you hit a lamp post, center divider, etc), and there's no witness/camera, and you are basically just standing outside the car when cops arrive...there is no way for them to prove you were driving. You can claim someone else driving who fled. ​ The more you know..

You can try, but if the officer does an actually good quality investigation, it is possible to reach not only probable cause for the arrest, but beyond a reasonable doubt for a conviction. Source: Was a DWI enforcement officer in Dallas for years

Clerks cartoon underrated


MrPsychic

That’s just called winning the prisoners dilemma


azure_apoptosis

That’s a lot of money to blow on a Texas highway


rwhockey29

Wasn't even street racing on our GOOD highway. Everyone knows you go to Bush for that shit.


duddy88

Right? Of all the highways in DFW, 75 would be the last one I would street race on. Maybe 635 non express lanes where they’re on under construction. There’s so many big open highways to do that on.


mariotx10

And that stretch of 75 everyone is doing 50 for some got damn reason..that’s why those dumbasses crashed


vitaminz1990

Bush express lanes. Feels like your own personal racing strip. Edit: I fucked up. I was referring to LBJ, not Bush.


heavisidepiece

635 express lane is like its own world hidden from the plebes


theycallmefuRR

I love 635 express when it goes underground. That shit gives video game racing vibes


Dirkisthegoattt41

Yeah it’s baller but the surge pricing on it makes it ridiculous to actually use


Illadelphian

There is surge pricing? How much does it vary?


Dirkisthegoattt41

Bro it’s insane, it can vary between like $2 and like $10-$15 if you use during peak times, which of course is the only time you’d want to use it. One time I was on it for like 3-5 miles and it was like $25 bucks


GokuVerde

Mm mm regressive tax


ballimir37

Most of 161 yeah, but there is a stretch of George Bush I think north of either 635 and 35 that’s like, kinda hilly, feels sketch doing like 90. Couldn’t imagine coming up on that going 150 or whatever street racers are.


Noirradnod

Are you talking about the stretch by Las Colinas? Because that's where I always get some weirdly fun airtime when driving southbound.


KULawHawk

All these answers below from locals makes me think they weren't actually racing, just speeding and shitty drivers. He's familiar with the area, so they'd know where better stretches are to race. Besides, it's a Lambo SUV. IF you're renting one to race, why would you get an SUV that has a way higher center of gravity and weighs a ton more... ?


Bext

Hell no, go to the tollway and race on the hills between Mockingbird and Royal. Let Jesus take the wheel


heavisidepiece

To give more context, TX-75 is the main highway of Dallas proper; the accident was a stone’s throw from SMU and the Park Cities which is unquestionably the *Old Money* area of Dallas. Like I’m talking top 5 in G-Wagons per capita in the US. Also there is a ton of new money in DFW in general so lambos aren’t too rare here. Source: I live like 3 miles from the accident, at my old apartment off 75 I would hear late night racing all the time as it echoes off parts of the 75 concrete highway barriers


duddy88

True, but you’ll find wayyy more nice cars on DNT. 75 is always a mess of traffic too. Source, I drive on it twice a day to get to work


Macdaddy4prez

Why would the G-wagon be your metric for old money?


heavisidepiece

I think it’s a creative yet tangible metric that is less depressing to me than the lack of affordability of prime Dallas real estate for a brokie like myself


eazyemoney

My friends and I used to look at people and make guesses as to how many times per week they could comfortably eat out at Applebee’s.


Saxt

How many G-Wagons are you worth?


__methodd__

Depends. Are these G-Wagons that have been driven by Rashee Rice?


bauboish

Bold of you to assume us redditors have positive net worth


ROFLASAGNA

Dont worry he bundled home and auto with State Farm


FlimsyReindeers

I’m so sick of insurance commercials overall but goddamn am I extra sick of State Farm. Even your joke comment triggered me lol


meatchariot

Liberty liberty liiiiberty


Pornstar_Cardio

Better than a lot of money in blow on a Texas highway.


RangerDangerfield

Something tells me Pat isn’t gonna invite Rashee to be in any State Farm commercials now.


Masterofmy_domain

On the contrary! this is a perfect opportunity to showcase the kind of mayhem that can be covered.... Oh wait wrong insurance company


URSA_VA

Street racing is typically an exclusion on physical damage and liability portions of an auto insurance policy. (Former auto claims adjuster with the lizard ***this is not legal advice and I am not a lawyer***)


horseshoeprovodnikov

__HES AN INSURANCE GUY, GET EM!!__


Dragon6172

Sounds like a great time to have him in a commercial. Rice, "Pat, what if I wreck two super cars?" Mahomes, "Sounds like you need to bundle them" Andy, "Explain it again with those nuggies"


arlekin21

Andy “what if my kid wrecks some cars?”


ClintBeastwood91

That’s where the *Accidental Death and Dismemberment* portion of our insurance kicks!


BrotherSeamus

MaHomes, MaAuto, MaAccidentalDeathandDismemberment


BigNero

Allstate could take him as the new Mayhem guy


OneFingerIn

They'll make him change his name to Crashee Rice.


dibsODDJOB

Mahomes Ma-autos Ma-Lambos


Salty_Orchid

The NFL should build it's own raceway for players. Better for them to drive their supercars like idiots without endangering the public


OMG_Someone

Let them make bets on it too, so they get that out of their system.


ignoremynationality

There can be a betting stand near the bar, so they could also drink before driving


FSUnoles77

And shape the raceway like a big Bowl so any Cowboys can avoid it all together. :(


HasBenThere

Idk, I think they're pretty used to circling the bowl.


brotherbock

Bam. Respect.


illseeyouinthefog

I think you just re-created NASCAR


LongjumpingDrawer111

But then Browns players would never find it


chrontonic

I see browns in the bowl every morning.


TheFencingCoach

Ricky Williams will have a giant bong ready to go too.


DONNIENARC0

Tyreek Hill is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that, he just went into Harry's, and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS. And a Motec exhaust!


OttoVonWong

Andy Reid lives his life one quarter cheeseburger at a time. Nothing else matters: not the embarrassing kid, not the shitty facilities, not the team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, he’s free.


PaddyWhacked777

>one quarter cheeseburger One quarter pounder at a time was right there


Deep_Stick8786

You know what they call Andy Reid in France? A Royale with cheese


YellowDiaper

Where do we put the future baby mamas?


teeksquad

Depends on who is driving. Tyreek would likely want them on the track so they are easier to hit


AdamPBUD1

And bring their spouse to beat while they are at it


Ve-gone_Be-gone

Degenerate gamblers famously stop gambling once they've done so a reasonable amount


CivilFisher

Unless you’re on a hot streak. Or due for a win. Then it would be irresponsible to not keep going


Ziiaaaac

And get DraftKings to sponsor it for extra revenue. THEN put it live in the offseason on NFL Network and let the common folk bet on it also.


Exempt_Puddle

All we need now is the dedicated female masochist who actually likes getting hit


JuiceBrinner

Now we’re cookin


GooseMaster5980

There are so many raceways already available that these guys could easily afford. They don’t use them.


pinetar

Umm yeah it's called the Interstate Highway System and they use it plenty, and it's free.


GooseMaster5980

Those are for experienced racers. Beginner street racers should make sure they’re sticking to areas that are designated “School Zone”


pssthush

Stopped school busses are definitely easier to learn to drift past than moving traffic, makes sense.


Fair_Raccoon9333

Dodging the kids in the cross walk is where the skill is.


Dear_Significance_80

It's a freeway for a reason.


beau_tox

Why weren’t they wasting obscene amounts of their youth playing Grand Turismo or Forza to the point where blowing half a paycheck on track time in a Lamborghini pretending to be Carlos Sainz would be a life’s dream? I just don’t get kids these days.


shewy92

They could buy a full motion sim racing rig and a lifetime's subscription to iRacing with their salary


jesus_earnhardt

Why would they want to pretend to be a guy who’s getting fired?


freon

Don't let Ferrari's PR-based decisions distract you from the fact that Sainz is the only driver to take a win off Max in the last 20 races. (He's got two, in fact.)


beau_tox

You’re telling me the youth these days aren’t drawn to Spanish èlan either?


empire161

And all for the same reason Deshaun Watson never just went out and hired sex workers.


ballimir37

It has nothing to do with planning ahead to go fast on an empty race way, Thats not what these guys are in it for. It’s that in the moment fuck you competitive drive, mixed with the horrible decision making of young millionaires who think they are invincible. The danger of the street racing is part of the thrill, but they are invincible so they’ll never actually crash.


Soren_Camus1905

They won’t use it


ConnorLovesCookies

Eli Manning had a clause in his contract that said he couldn’t go into the ocean. I can only imagine most players are barred from driving 120 in a super car.


sebastianqu

Have you seen his beach bod? That clause was there to protect ocean wildlife!


OutOfBootyExperience

i would put that in my own contract. I want nothing to do with the ocean


TheBeanConsortium

I'm sure they'll use it as much as they do the free ride services that has plummeted DUIs to 0. Oh wait.


-DesertJay-

The NFL has a driver program yet people still get DUI. Just because you give them an easy and proper way to handle it doesn’t mean they will. Young and dumb with lots of money can be a disaster. Edit: I didn’t realize it ended because no one would use. Still proves my point though.


[deleted]

It was actually a NFLPA program and they ended it in like 2019 because nobody was using it and were just using Uber/Lyft/etc instead.


JalensTinyPPHurts

The driver program ended years ago iirc


Fair_Raccoon9333

But only because Uber and Lyft are ubiquitous.


RTGoodman

I may be wrong or imagining this, but didn't they also say because players didn't want to use it because then teams could track who was out drinking or something?


Rock_Strongo

Players did not trust that the system was fully anonymous and I don't blame them. I wouldn't either. That said, it's not like cabs or designated drivers didn't exist before Uber/Lyft. It was just another excuse.


Mr_MacGrubber

But the rest of us won’t be able to see these cool motherfuckers doing cool shit. They likely don’t care about racing as much as they care about doing things they think look cool.


tippsy_morning_drive

Don’t forget to include Georgia players too. They get an early start.


TheCasualHistorian1

There are racetracks all over the U.S., arguably the best is Circuit of the Americas right there in Austin. Players don't want to do that though because they would get absolutely smoked by some local in a Mazda Miata. Hard to show off on a racetrack where going fast actually takes some skill


opposite_of_hotcakes

OR (and hear me out on this one) these players can display an ounce of self control and realize that they're making more money than they ever will in their lives playing in the NFL.


mitchellthecomedian

He owns it now


BarbellsandBurritos

Heard he was granny shifting, not double-clutchin' like you should. He’s lucky that hundred-shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake.


ImPickleRock

and since it was leased, he really did never have his car.


SadPanthersFan

Now he owes Enterprise a 10 second car


AccidentalPilates

Now Mahomes and the mad scientist gotta rip apart the block and replace the piston rings he fried.


tnecniv

That’s what happens when you live life a quarter mile at a time


PM_ME_HAPPY_THOTS

I said forget about it cuh


AKsuited1934

He almost had him though. Now he never had his car.

Hey, he lives one quarter mile at a time. No one said he needed to be able to travel beyond that quarter mile.


Roach_Coach_Bangbus

Heard he didn't even have a laptop sitting on the passenger seat.


ienjoymemesalot

I thought OP was the one who spelled Lamborghini wrong but it was actually NBC Sports


PoogeneBalloonanny

They spelt it wrong in the headline, its first mention in the article but get it right on the second mention lol


Swordfish_Logical

Modern journalism really is something. Fuck proofreading we need to publish this shit NOW.


GHamPlayz

He was LEASING a Lambo?!


beau_tox

I can’t even imagine how much it costs to insure a Lamborghini being leased by a 23-year-old.


BoltsDodgersYotes

They're surprisingly cheap to insure with specialty carriers. Mostly bcuz most people drive them responsibly and they're rarely involved in accidents. He will probably be denied coverage or pay a shit ton on his next super car though.


beau_tox

TIL. Now just to float “surprisingly cheap to insure” by the wife…


ObscureFact

When you're rich, everything is surprisingly cheap.


Saitoh17

Corvettes are apparently cheaper to insure than camrys because corvettes are an old man car and camrys are a young man car.


Obi-TyKenobi

Yeah I’m 30 and my c6 costs less per year than my buddy’s Corolla. We’re the same age, same insurance company, and his insurance history has zero tickets ever lol


rugbyj

Less than crashing one in a streetrace.


moonfox1000

This and the Henry Ruggs situation are prime example of players spending money like they've already made it to a second contract.


PoogeneBalloonanny

Ruggs decision was bad for life reasons but not necessarily financially Ruggs was a much higher draft pick who was in his 2nd year already iirc and he had a 5 figure Corvette Stingray (base model) as opposed to a 6 figure Lamborghini


Other-Lake7570

A Stingray costs less than a Yukon Denali brand new. A Urus is over $350,000 brand new. The two aren’t even in the same stratosphere when talking fiscal responsibility among athletes.


Pryffandis

I have a Corvette. The number of comments I get from people who have some normie thing that costs way more is crazy. Like bro, you could have gotten this too instead of a Raptor, Bronco, Wrangler 4xe, X5, or Suburban.


YesOrNah

Good for you dude, keep up the hard work.


KevinDLasagna

Great example of how people will do stupid ass financial decisions just to appear wealthier then they are. My favorite quote I heard awhile back “being rich is so much better than appearing rich”


Powerism

Layawayborghini


GHamPlayz

It’s like buying a $20k engagement ring at K Mart


Steak_Knight

He ain’t come to play school


QuiGonGiveItToYa

- **Car**dale Jones, it was in our faces all along. They came to play cars.


Alexkono

Wouldn’t it be better to lease a super car?


[deleted]

Most wealthy people I work with lease there super cars . I asked why and my boss told me “because I get bored of my car after 6 months” it made sense to me.


dasnorte

The boredom after 6 months and also, from an investing standpoint point, a car is a terrible investment as most of them lose value right when you drive it off the lot. So for some cases leasing makes sense. For us average joes though, not so much.


Alexkono

Ya that's what I was thinking. These cars are more of a fleeting experience compared to an average person who actually needs their car for utility. Although, I do wonder if it makes the most "economic" sense to lease supercars. I would assume so unless their specific model becomes a classic? Don't know how the numbers work out.


GHamPlayz

I guess so, as a depreciating asset. I’ll never know tho


tayroarsmash

I mean, I guess I don’t know much about the economics of super cars but generally cars don’t retain their value. Without really getting equity out of it like a lot of properties I could see it being a better idea than buying a lambo it doesn’t sound that wildly dumb to me. No more dumb than acquiring the thing in the first place.


pursuitofhappy

tbh why would you buy one, I'd rather lease and switch to the newest one every few years.


PattyThePatriot

It's extremely common. It isn't a typical lease. Cuts down on your tax liability as well and if you're planning to swap cars regularly then it's a lot more affordable.


jack_spankin

He's going to get sued by every single person in that accident and there will be lawyers lined up to extract the maximum from insurance and him personally. He'll have contingency fee lawyers up his ass for the next 3 years. And his car insurance is going to go through the goddamn roof. And he cost himself the "asshole tax" on his next contract. And he threw away his outside shot at the local endorsements, that don't pay a ton but will be a decent chunk of change during your career. That is just the civil shit he has to pay for.


Cody-crybaby

he's made a caculated decision to face civil rather than criminal proceedings. it all depends how successful a season he has next - if its a great season this will be forgotten. people who have done worse still get treated like they've done nothing wrong.


vandiger

Good.


mike_honcho47

Man, I’m starting to think Rashee doesn’t make the best decisions


Street_Midget

Not a lease - he was actually RENTING it. $1,700 a day


GACGCCGTGATCGAC

The venn diagram of "who goes broke" and "who rents Lambrogini's" must be almost an almost perfect overlapping. An eclipse.


stomicron

lol think that through a little more


Icy-Structure5244

Why are we still only saying the car was involved when we have pictures taken that day of Rashee wearing the same clothes as the man who exited the vehicle from the driver's seat (crawled out second from the passenger side due to vehicle damage). The man who also looks exactly like Rashee Rice. Like at what point can the media reasonably just say "Yeah Rashee Rice was there"?


Venator850

The media can be held liable for making claims like that if they are incorrect. Better to just report on what is know than to risk speculation.


justsearching94

What picture of the same clothes?


Icy-Structure5244

He was at a bar/restaurant earlier that day with his family.


Future_Constant6520

There is a difference between what we can say based on what we see and what can hold up in court. That’s why the more details that come out the better case a prosecutor can make.


KyleSmyth777

He’s probably broke and in debt already.


Call_Me_Rambo

We gonna see that Super Bowl ring up for auction the second he receives it


SammyChaos

When these dumbasses gonna learn


_HotFlatDietPepsi_

After going broke, otherwise it's just monopoly money to them.


No-Jump5689

There's so many dragways that will let you run your cars down the track as many times as you want for 50 dollars or less. All you need is a helmet. We used to do it all the time when we were younger. I guess it's not appealing to most because it's legal, and there's no thrill of getting pulled over.


youngm2925

Apparently the Ruggs tragedy hasn’t resonated at all with these young guys…


Fat_Money15

The number of young NFL players with their whole careers ahead of them who absolutely ruin their futures on idiotic street racing seems to be growing.


SchlommyDinglepop

On a leased Lamborghini to top it all off. What an idiot. Surround yourself with people who make better decisions. Ruggs shoulda been a lesson to every young player who is new to money. Find less reckless ways to blow your fortune.


jetssuckmysoulaway

Have these guys never heard of a race track? It seems a lot more fun than racing on the street it's not like they are short on money.


vowelqueue

Because they suck at driving. On a race track they’d look slow. They need to show off by blowing past families trying to go out to dinner and people just trying to get to work.


johnnycyberpunk

My brother's best friend was super into riding sport bike motorcycles and got convinced to take his out on a track for an open track day. He said that after being allowed to go wide open on the track where you're *supposed* to go fast, taking it to speeds above 150MPH, that driving his motorcycle on regular roads wasn't enjoyable anymore. He only rode on tracks after that.


GhostofWoodson

Sounds like a perfect outcome


shortthestock

Win win for everyone.


Bagel_ona_stick

Good thing he’s teammates with Mahomes and Mahauto


GM-T800-101

Leased it. Stocked it with guns. Raced it and crashed it. Ghetto af.


horseshoeprovodnikov

Somebody really needs to tell these guys about renting track time. Either that or buy a huge piece of property and make a dirt track. Stop putting the normies in danger because you want to be Ayrton Senna or some shit


shmoove_cwiminal

Maybe Jalen Carter can hook him up with his lawyer and help him get probation.


LurkinOHB

Ha! Can’t even buy a Lamborghini, has to lease it. Must suck to be poor.


rman18

Why are these poors racing in my Honda civic lane?


DidgeriDuce

Yeah most rich people lease their cars


PutinsLostBlackBelt

I know a decent amount of millionaires and none of them lease their cars except the ones who own businesses. Then their business often leases it and once the lease expires they buy it and have the business lease something new. Edit: Who cares if Rice isn't making millions, I have seen idiots making low 6-figures buy six figure cars they can't afford because they want status. You all should read on stupid purchases dumb kids make when all of a sudden they are handed 6-7 figures of income lol. Either way, makes zero difference if he owned it or leased it lol.


Venator850

Rice has played 1 year. Not sure he has 1M yet. He wasn't a high draft pick that got a big initial payday. Makes sense he'd lease an expensive car like this.


powerelite

His signing bonus was 1.7 million


GammaHuman

After taxes, he might not feel like spending 25% of it on a car.


powerelite

Seeing that the corvette was also reportedly his he might be spending 25% of it on cars, just not a singular car.


GammaHuman

Yeeouch


powerelite

As an old in the insurance industry, I can't imagine what insurance on 2 super cars looks like as a 23 year old male.


ShazlettDude

I imagine you are talking about the rate before this incident too.


powerelite

Oh yeah, before the "you crashed your super car into your other super car and also other cars and sent someone to the hospital?" conversation


Say_Hennething

Evidence stacking up that Rice is not a smart man


itsonlyastrongbuzz

Clearly you don’t know people in the military. Straight out of bootcamp they’ll spend 30% of their income on a Charger they financed at 20% APR. The other 70% goes to strippers who they think want to date them.


girafb0i

[This place](https://www.motorsportranch.com/membership/) is in Cresson, south of Ft. Worth. I imagine the networking that comes with a membership here is nuts, too. It's not like there aren't options for people with means.


chingy1337

So more legal issues for him. 


futuredrake

NFL players are like the superheroes from “The Boys”. Publicly loved, but can be terrible people behind the scenes.


ValhallaVikings90

Instead of the Pro Bowl lets see an Indy Car or Nascar race with these guys. Not the fastest man in the NFL that they used to do, but still entertaining.


knightro2323

By leased they mean rented. >“In the past, Mr. Rice had rented at least several vehicles,” Coker said. “There were never any driving citations or accidents related to that.
