Ruggs killed Tina Tintor after driving at up to 156 mph
Former Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs, on special release on Monday night, spoke at a Hope for Prisoners event in Las Vegas and apologized to the family of a woman he killed in a car crash in 2021.
Ruggs drove his sports car at speeds up to 156 mph in Las Vegas on 2 November 2021, slamming into a vehicle that killed driver Tina Tintor and her dog. Tintor was 23. Blood samples taken after the crash showed that Ruggs had a blood-alcohol level of 0.16% — twice the legal limit in Nevada. The speed limit in the area of the crash was 45 mph. The Raiders cut the wide receiver the day after the crash, in which he suffered minor injuries.
