SMU has suspended cornerback Teddy Knox, the school announced Wednesday. The decision came after the Dallas Police Department issued an arrest warrant for Knox for his alleged involvement in a multi-car crash that occurred in Dallas on March 30. DPD has also issued a warrant for Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice for his alleged involvement in the incident. 

"SMU has been notified by Dallas police of an arrest warrant for Theodore"Teddy" Knox, a student-athlete on the Mustang football team," an SMU spokesperson wrote in a statement. "Knox has been suspended from the team. SMU takes these allegations seriously. Federal student privacy laws prevent the University from discussing details involving student disciplinary proceedings."

According to a DPD press release, Rice was driving a Lamborghini and Knox a Corvette on North Central Expressway in Dallas. The two cars were speeding in the far left lane and "caused a chain reaction collision involving four other vehicles".
