Henry Ruggs' lawyers: Witness says firefighters slow to extinguish Tina Tintor's vehicle in fatal crash

LAS VEGAS -- A witness said firefighters were slow to extinguish a vehicle fire sparked by a deadly crash that authorities blame on former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III, his lawyers say in a court filing.

Ruggs, 22, is accused of causing the crash by driving drunk at speeds up to 156 mph with his girlfriend in his Corvette sports car before the pre-dawn crash Nov. 2. The team released him hours after the crash.

A funeral for the woman who died, Tina Tintor, 23, was scheduled Thursday at a Serbian Orthodox church, followed by a private burial at a Las Vegas cemetery.
