The football star caused an accident in which a young woman burned down under the influence of alcohol

The disaster occurred on the night of Monday to Tuesday in Las Vegas. At half past three, Ruggs raced through the streets at 251 km / h in his luxury sports car, trying to brake before colliding with the rear of the Toyota RAV4, and the airbags fired after a 205 km / h crash.

Toyota, which had already bounced almost 200 meters and in which sat 23-year-old Tina Tintor, began to burn. Eyewitness Alexander Hart, who works as a security guard at the residential complex where the tragedy happened, rushed to the rescue. According to a statement he gave to the police, the woman was alive at the time because he heard screams from the car, but was unable to help her because she was stuck in the car.

Ruggs, according to police on the spot, refused an alcohol test, but later his blood was taken at the hospital and the sample showed twice the value allowed in Nevada.

His 22-year-old girlfriend Kiara Washington also drove the Raiders wide receiver in the car, suffering a number of injuries and immediately undergoing hand surgery, according to investigators.

Ruggs was in a wheelchair with a foam collar around his neck at a court hearing on Wednesday, up to 20 years in prison.

“In more than 24 years of investigating accidents, this is the highest speed I’ve ever heard of,” Eric Bauman, the district’s attorney general, told CBS News.

Destroyed Toyota Tiny Tintors:

Ruggs had a loaded firearm on the floor of his car, which is another crime because he was drunk. In addition, according to investigators, after his arrest, he was aggressive towards men of the law and paramedics and refused to cooperate.

The judge has set a bail fee of $ 150,000 for Ruggs, with another hearing scheduled for November 10. Until then, the stellar football player must refrain from using alcohol and other narcotics, must not drive and is subject to the highest degree of electronic monitoring.

Henry Ruggs Police Picture:

The footballer’s legal team has asked the public to refrain from passing the courts until “all the facts have been gathered.” Attorney David Chesnoff described his client as “a young man who had never had a problem before,” and mentioned his “impeccable background” and work for charity.

The club first issued a statement expressing its condolences to Tintor’s loved ones. “The Raiders are aware of the Henry Ruggs III accident in Las Vegas. We are devastated by the loss of life and our thoughts and prayers are headed for the victim’s family. We are gathering information and will have no further comments at this time,” Raiders said. Hours later, however, the team said on Twitter that they had fired Ruggs.

The Montgomery native was one of the team’s biggest stars. In 2017, he won the NCAA’s top university league with Alabama Crimson Tide, and in 2020, the Las Vegas Raiders selected him twelfth in the first round of the draft. He concluded a four-year contract with the club for $ 16.6 million (in terms of 366 million crowns), in addition to which he collected a signing bonus of $ 9.6 million (212 million crowns).

He also scored two touchdowns in the current season, he was not missing in the line-up even during the last Raiders match, in which they defeated Philadelphia at 33:22 on October 24th.
