Former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III was driving at 156 miles per hour seconds before the crash that killed a 23-year-old woman, according to a police report obtained by CBS News. The 22-year-old was released from the team hours after police said he would face a felony driving under the influence charge.
The crash occurred at approximately 3:39 a.m. on Tuesday morning after Ruggs veered into the right lane and struck the back of a Toyota RAV4, according to the report from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. The RAV4 caught on fire with the driver and her dog trapped inside, police said. Both were pronounced dead at the scene. The police report identified the victim as 23-year-old Tina Tintor.
An analysis of airbag data showed Ruggs was moving at 156 miles per hour in the seconds before the crash, and at 127 miles per hour when the crash occurred, police said.
