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.

Twenty-two years old from Montgomery Alabama, finally making it to the big show with a sixteen-million dollar contract and a custom corvette……what could go wrong?
Oh, I believe he is going to prison.
I have a seatbelt cutter clipped to my sunvisor. I wish this poor girl and her Golden Retriever had one too.
Saw another where a drunk ran into back of flatbed and decapitated passenger..then a freak one got there just after, a car went around a curve in slow residential area, guy in back seat head went out the window a little just as a van coming from the other way hit him in the head, died immediately..
then there was the rolled new mercedes sedan, owners young son took his girlfriend for a drive, rolled it at high speed going downhill, it stopped when it hit a culvert, both came out fine, car looked like a crushed can, if it wasn't a mercedes probably both would have been fatal...his girlfriend broke her ankle on impact, that was it, saw many more those stick out....
Apparently GOD has other PLANS in store for him.
He needs to drive that car over a cliff at 125 miles an hour.
Chump change...
Hope he gets 20 years.
He should get life, no parole.
I can see his Cochran Group defense on “unintended acceleration”
If the gas pedal sticks
You must acquit.
As a former EMT and ambulance worker I will tell you she was most likely unconscious, the dog most likely perished from the impact. She may have also perished as a rear impact of that velocity more than likely severed her cervical spine. Air bags have no effect in a rear collision of that nature. Her body accelerated and her head did not. He and his girl survived because of front crush zones and air bags.
I think of all the crazy, stupid stuff I did when I was young and when you add alcohol to the equation, the trouble just gets compounded.
Talking about what they went through has to help to keep the accident from taking over their lives.
That would be a fate worse than death for anyone with a conscience.
Always! 🔪
I don't know much about Ruggs but he was just 22 years old and had signed a contract close to $200 million. It boggles my mind that a football player could command that much money in his first year of pro football.
Too much too soon in my opinion. The kid wasn't prepared to handle that kind of money as evidenced by his tricked out car with bells and whistles that only an immature high school kid would bother with - I mean, "kandy" painted brakes! Who thinks up that stuff except some overgrown kid? And a car that goes 200 m.p.h. on city streets - that's just irresponsible at any age.
Ruggs is going to end up having his name mentioned in NFL rookie camps for the next 20 years at least - as in, "Smarten up kid, you don't want to end up like another Ruggs."
I carry a Hijacker 1000 most of the time
No, she was alive and talking to the people trying to get her out if the car.when the flames got close she starting screaming in pain.
The guy who tried to get her out gave a full account.
Joe Biden said he could teach that colored boy how to drive a vett
