This is the moment Las Vegas Raiders' star Henry Ruggs sobbed on the ground after crashing his Corvette into a woman's SUV at 156mph as she perished in a huge fireball.
Ruggs, 22, was seen apparently passing in and out of consciousness and holding his girlfriend Rudy Washington in the aftermath of Tuesday night's Sin City smash.
He was allegedly drunk and traveling at high speed when he crashed into Tina Tintor's Toyota RAV4 on Tuesday. The 23-year-old woman and her dog, Maxi, which was in the backseat, burned to death despite bystanders’ efforts to save them, with Tintor allegedly screaming with pain during her final agonizing moments.

Same.
Up to 46 years is his maximum sentence. I doubt he’ll do five years.
Back in the late 70’s, a friend of mine was out with a bunch of girlfriends and they had been drinking. My friend wanted to go home but they talked her into staying with them. She was in the back of a pickup with a camper top. Driver pulled out from a side street to a major thoroughfare and smashed into a pole killing my friend in the back. The driver I think got probation, under age driving while impaired. Having to live with that the rest of your life would be terrible.
When my kids got to late high school/early college, I’d tell them that story about not driving while drinking or getting into a car where the driver had been.
always. mine is serrated and hooked for cutting through straps and such. (spyderco harpy. its a most useful tool.)
Awww. Poor Henry.
He needs a $450,000.00 “victims check”.
Get on it, Brandon you POS.
God loves you.

“Hard to believe one could survive a 156mph crash in a Corvette.”
He braked to less than 130.
Relative speed 80 to 90.
Not like hitting a brick wall.

Wherever I go, I always have at least one knife and a way to make fire. These are things that distinguish humans from animals.
“How could he crash at 156 mph and walk away?”
IIRC, he had slowed to 127 mph by time of impact.
Yeah hitting a light car moving in the same direction (although much slower) is totally different from a NHTSA fixed barrier test.
Screw his tears. A woman was burning to death because of him while this drunk sat there and cried. He belongs in prison.
Horrible. So sorry.
All the boys were sober. It was just absolute stupidity and that feeling of youthful invincibility in this case.
Some of the boys still have PTSD and injuries to this day.
Still friends, tho. I tried to mediate that a few months after the wreck. It was healing for them. Made them get together over lunch to discuss their experiences. And what I witnessed on arriving to the scene.
I wouldn’t wish that on ANY momma. It is burned in my memory.
Forget about this, let’s talk about Aaron Rodgers testing positive for COVID and how he’s using alternate treatments. That’s the outrage! < /S >
Proof again that nothing good happens after 3 AM. But one-hundred fifty MPH? Okay he’s only twenty-two, riding on top of the world playing in the NFL. But his screw-up killed a young woman. May God have mercy on him.
Ooh. Ooh. I love relative velocity, center of mass reference frame analyses.
Itt wasn’t quite a brick wall. But it was close... an inelastic collision at 80 to 90 mmph.
He did. And he destroyed another.
Yes. Always carry a knife.
