Ruggs was driving his Corvette 156 mph early on Nov. 2 on a residential Las Vegas street while under the influence of alcohol before colliding into Tintor’s Toyota Rav4, puncturing the gas tank, killing her and her golden retriever Max.

Witnesses told police that they heard screams and attempted to rescue Tintor and her dog, but were unable to approach the car engulfed by smoke and fire, according to AP.

What a tragedy.
