The Henry Ruggs story is one we’d all like to forget.

If you can remember all the way back in 2021, former Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs got into a deadly crash in Las Vegas. A woman named Tina Tintor was at the wrong place at the wrong time, she ended up dying in the car crash.

Now we’re learning about some new details surrounding the crash scene.

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.”

Well Ruggs not only took another life, he nearly lost his. A true tragedy.

Ruggs suffered injuries in the crash, but is expected to make a full recovery.

His football career is most likely never going to recover.
