The couple were on their way to a friend’s 50th birthday party when two vehicles, one of which was allegedly occupied by Rice, pulled up in a white Lexus SUV.
The couple’s car is said to have veered across the road until it hit a wall.You can watch the video of the event here). The two were taken to hospital and are said to be recovering at home.
