A car allegedly belonging to Kansas City Chiefs player Rashee Rice was part of an accident involving six vehicles in Dallas, Texas, on Saturday.

Authorities told The Dallas Morning News that they are looking for the wide receiver, 23, as of Sunday because a Chevrolet Corvette believed to be registered or somehow connected to Rice was at the scene of the incident.

In a statement to PEOPLE, a Dallas Police Department spokesperson said the Corvette and a Lamborghini were speeding in the far-left lane of the 6600 block of northbound North Central Expressway shortly before 6:25 p.m. local time.

“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,” the spokesperson continued.

They added, “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.”
