I was involved in a high-speed accident in Dallas... I urge everyone to mind the speed limit, drive safe and drive smart. I am profoundly sorry for the physical damages to person and property.
A vehicle in the wrong hands can be as dangerous as any weapon. We are extremely fortunate that no lives were lost that day, and Mr. Rice is fortunate to have walked away unharmed.
We hope he takes this as an opportunity to mature and leads by example moving forward. I wish him the best in making safer choices.
