The other thread is a dumpster fire. I'm sure this will become one as well, but might as well start with a clean slate. I'll at least try to keep the OP updated with any notable news. Feel free to PM me if I miss anything good.
Arrest warrant and potential charges:
Spoiler!
BREAKING: An arrest warrant has been issued for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice in connection to his involvement in a multi-vehicle crash on U.S. 75 in Dallas in late March, sources tell WFAA. https://t.co/XL3F7oCuW1

Collision involving injury carries a penalty of imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for not more than five years or confinement in the county jail for not more than one year, a fine fine not to exceed $5,000 or both. Collision involving serious bodily injury -- a third-degree felony -- carries a punishment of imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice of not more than 10 years or less than 2 years. Aggravated assault -- a second-degree felony -- is punishable by two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
TL;DR, his concern was at a 2, and now it's a 4 (out of 10). Still probably not a huge deal, but there are some concerning possibilities. Overall, though, he thinks it all gets pled down to misdemeanors, he misses a couple of games, and he writes some massive checks to those he injured.

#Chiefs Patrick Mahomes said he's worked with Rashee Rice throughout the offseason and will continue to do so while the legal process plays out for Rice..

The fact you interpreted this from the link you posted as meaning she’ll be rendered with “sight issues for life”… :-)

Tell us you can’t read, without telling us you can’t read.
Great, thanks for sharing. I hadn't seen that. The affidavit for the lady with the eye injury says:

She will be limited in her mobility and sight while she seeks treatment and heals. It's not for life, correct?
Also interesting that the SMU guy driving the Corvette, probably brake checked Rice as he dropped to 91 MPH quickly and probably caused Rice to swerve left to miss him per the video. Dumb all around. [Reply]

But still, again, I heavily lean toward your side of the argument here. This isn’t just some harmless speeding that had no consequences.
sorry missed this before I posted my reply. [Reply]

If you'd like to see the source talking on camera, he was on Lance's podcast last week.
