A car believed to belong to Kansas City Chiefs shortstop Rashee Rice was involved in a six-vehicle crash in Dallas, Texas on Saturday.
Authorities said Dallas morning news that they have been searching for the wide receiver, 23, since Sunday because a Chevrolet Corvette believed to be registered to or somehow related to Rice was at the scene of the incident.
In a statement to PEOPLE, a Dallas police spokesman said the Corvette and Lamborghini were speeding in the far left lane of the northbound 6600 block of North Central Expressway shortly before 6:25 p.m. local time.
“The drivers lost control and the Lamborghini went over the shoulder and hit the median wall, causing a chain collision involving four other vehicles,” the spokesman continued.
They added: “The occupants of the Lamborghini and Corvette all fled the scene without stopping to determine if anyone needed medical attention or to provide their information.”
