A Texas court has issued a default judgment against Theodore Knox, requiring him to pay $2.88 million to Kathryn Kuykendall, a victim of a street racing crash involving Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice. Judge Kim Bailey Phipps deemed Knox 'grossly negligent' after he and Rice lost control of their vehicles during a race on March 30, 2024, in Dallas. Knox was not present during the court hearing, and no attorney was listed for him. This ruling adds to previous judgments against Knox, totaling over $4.6 million awarded to other victims from the crash. Rice, who was driving a rented Lamborghini Urus SUV, has faced multiple legal challenges, including a civil lawsuit from Dacoda Jones alleging assault. Rice's trial is set for June 9, while he has already been sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years of probation for his involvement in the crash. Knox also received a similar sentence earlier this year. Both athletes have faced suspensions from their university and the NFL due to their actions during the incident.
