Las Vegas woman killed in Henry Ruggs’ DUI crash burned to death: coroner
The woman killed in a harrowing pre-dawn crash allegedly caused by former Las Vegas Raiders wideout Henry Ruggs III burned to death, a coroner has determined.
Tina Tintor, 23, died of “thermal injuries” on Nov. 2 when Ruggs allegedly plowed his Corvette — which prosecutors said was speeding as fast as 156 mph — into her Toyota RAV4.

Anyone else excited to see what light sentence will come from any trial for someone with a couple of protected classes (black, pro athlete)?
Thugball strikes again.
White woman killed by black NFL player..no wonder the commie media spent literally 2 seconds on this story
Attorneys for Ruggs — who declined Tuesday to comment on the coroner’s report — have suggested in court filings they may question whether the disgraced NFL standout caused Tintor’s death, alleging a witness at the scene told them firefighters were slow to respond as flames engulfed Tintor’s Toyota.

Are they insane. What a horrible and pathetic defense. This is why lawyers are often considered lower than whale poop.
I don’t think he should get 40 years. I think he should be dowsed in gasoline.... you guess the rest.
Yep, his lawyers are already blaming the firefighters who I assume will be portrayed as racist.
Sentence? Probably use the arec barwin defense. Insert: “I never stepped on the accelerator.”
That’s a new one on me. Legally speaking, you cause the accident which kills someone, but legally, they blame the firemen for not responding quickly enough to the accident you caused.
Ok then.
The accelerator pressed itself? Or maybe the accelerator got stuck and Ruggs was trying to un-stuck it?
How long does it take to burn to death? 30 seconds?
Too long.
Reminds me of the Ron White routine about being on a small airplane that had lost an engine. When asked by a fellow passenger how far the remaining engine would take them, Ron's response was "All the way to the scene of the crash. I bet we beat the paramedics there by half an hour".
If you own a Toyota RAV4... I would suggest that you trade it in and get yourself a safer vehicle. These vehicle have had fire related problems.
“1.9 Million Toyota RAV4 SUVs Investigated for Battery Fire Risk”
“Toyota RAV4 Fire Risk Is Focus of U.S. Investigation”
“Toyota RAV4 faces government investigation over potential SUV fire risk”
Driving around in a vehicle that is already a fire risk is inherently dangerous... Add to that a drunk NFL player hitting your car and things can go terribly wrong, like they did for this poor young lady.
And that idiot, woke liberal scumbag QB Carr said we need to feel sorry for, and support Ruggs during this time.
what a thing to say about someone who crashed his car driving 100 MPH, while drunk, killing an innocent person and a dog.
I was somebody elses fault, not this poor, oppressed man and, besides, White lives don't matter, anyhow.
Doesn’t matter.
Unfortunately I’ve heard someone who’s burning to death. It is the worst thing I have ever heard I my life. I can never get it out of my brain.
That this man is even making excuses…………… I can’t say what that makes him and his lawyer.
I hope the prosecution plays the audio I’ve heard of that poor woman’s last minutes on earth.
How long does it take to burn to death? 30 seconds?
A lifetime
One of the worst possible ways to die.
“The accelerator pressed itself?”
Why not ? Triggers pull themselves.
