Tony Rodriguez, a witness and one of the first people to arrive at the scene, is giving his first hand account.
According to Rodriguez, Ruggs was “dangling” out of his Corvette, he thought Ruggs was dead.
Via TMZ Sports:
“Rodriguez said Ruggs’ lower body was still in the ride, but his torso was “dangling” outside of it. He said he was going to tell Ruggs’ girlfriend, who was a passenger in the Corvette, to leave him be, but said she had already begun pulling the wide receiver out.
“She grabbed him and pulled him fully out,” Rodriguez said. “I have no idea who he is. I don’t care about football. Never heard of Henry Ruggs. But, I didn’t see no life in his body.”
“I thought he was dead.”
