Lawyers: Henry Ruggs 'is in serious trouble'

At approximately 3:39 a.m. Tuesday morning in Las Vegas, at a suburban intersection just a few miles west of the famed Strip, police say Raiders' receiver Henry Ruggs III slammed his Corvette into the back of a Toyota Rav4.

The Toyota burst into flames. It took the fire department to locate the driver, a woman police have not yet named, inside the vehicle. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Ruggs was not seriously injured. Police said he “showed signs of impairment” on the scene. He was later transported to the hospital with “non-life-threatening” injuries.
