Kansas City Chiefs star Rashee Rice was driving at 119mph in the seconds before he caused a multi-vehicle crash in Dallas, Texas last month, according to a report.
The 23-year-old crashed his Lamborghini on a Dallas highway, leaving at least seven people injured. Police suspect that he was racing it against a Corvette.
He turned himself over to Glenn Heights police and was taken to the DeSoto Regional Jail, according to NBC, on Wednesday and posted a $40,000 bond before being released.
The wide receiver has been charged with one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious injury and six counts of collision involving injury after appearing to flee the scene of a car crash on a Dallas highway late last month.
Dallas police have said that both drivers of the Lamborghini Urus and Chevrolet Corvette were speeding at around 6.20pm CDT on March 30.

The Lamborghini was traveling 119mph 4.5 seconds before the crash occurred, while the Corvette was traveling 116 mph 7.5 seconds before the collision, but had slowed to 91 miles per hour about 1.5 seconds before, according to an affidavit obtained by the Dallas Morning News.
The speed limit on that stretch of Dallas highway is 70mph and police said the 'reckless' driving put 'multiple people at risk of loss of life and serious injury.'
The cars 'made multiple aggressive maneuvers to get through traffic,' the affidavit said.
Both vehicles are said to have taken 'faulty evasive action' to avoid hitting the other vehicles but couldn't avoid colliding with one another, triggering the chain-reaction crash, which snowballed to include three other vehicles 'in a matter of seconds.'
Theodore Knox, 21, who was driving the other speeding sports car, police said, also turned himself in and was booked into the DeSoto Regional Jail on Friday.
Knox, who was suspended by SMU on Thursday, faces the same eight charges as Rice. His bail was set at $40,000, which he posted at around 1.30pm CDT Friday.
Rice and four other men were caught on video leaving the scene of the crash. Police said they did not stop to see if anyone required medical assistance or provide any details.
The passengers in the speeding sports cars will not face any charges, police said.
