NFL Star Faces $10 Million Lawsuit Over Dallas Highway Crash

NFL player Rashee Rice is the subject of a multimillion-dollar lawsuit stemming from a car crash on a Texas highway last month. The plaintiffs, Edvard Petrovskiy and Irina Gromova, are seeking over $10 million in damages, alleging that Rice’s negligence contributed to their injuries.

According to the lawsuit filed in Dallas County, the incident occurred on March 30 when Rice, driving a Lamborghini Urus, was reportedly racing his friend Theodore Knox, who was in a Corvette. The lawsuit claims that both drivers lost control during the race, causing a severe crash involving multiple vehicles.

Petrovskiy and Gromova allege that Rice and Knox fled the scene without assisting the injured parties, some of whom were seriously hurt, showing signs of severe injury and distress.

They are seeking punitive damages for their injuries and additional compensatory damages to cover medical expenses, mental suffering, and property damage.

While Rice has yet to make a public statement regarding the claims, his attorney, Royce West, mentioned shortly after the incident that Rice intends to support the affected parties.
