“I take full responsibility for my part in this matter and will continue to cooperate with the necessary authorities,” Rice wrote. “I sincerely apologize to everyone impacted in Saturday’s accident.”
Rice does not actually confirm what his role in the crash was. He has been linked to the two vehicles that ultimately caused the crash, which took place in Dallas on Saturday. Police have said they believe Rice was driving one of the vehicles.
This is Rice’s first direct statement about the crash, though his attorney had previously released a statement on his behalf.
