#HenryRuggs #LasVegas
Henry Ruggs sat near a sidewalk just feet away from the Toyota engulfed in flames — which killed a woman and her dog — and he and his girlfriend swore and sobbed … in this new video, obtained by TMZ Sports.
Just seconds after the former Raiders star slammed his Corvette into the back of a Rav4 at around 3:40 AM in Las Vegas … footage shows Ruggs and Kiara Washington locked in a hug on the ground. In the clip, you can hear parts of their emotional conversation.
“OK. OK, here,” she told Ruggs as she grabbed his face. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
He responded, “F***!!! Stop yelling!!!”
Video later shows one witness, who had arrived just minutes after the crash, telling an officer, “That’s Henry Ruggs right here. That’s Henry Ruggs right here. He plays for the Raiders.”
The woman holding Ruggs then was sent into a panic — as Ruggs appeared to drift in and out of consciousness in her arms.
Ruggs then seemed to come to — and you can hear in the video, he began crying and sobbing as his girlfriend still held his head.
Meanwhile, a witness of the aftermath of the Tuesday crash involving Henry Ruggs, the former Las Vegas Raiders star receiver, said he tried desperately to pry the woman who died from her car but the fire spread too quickly, according to a report.
Tony Rodriguez told KTNV.com that he was one of the witnesses who were first at the scene of the accident several miles west of the Las Vegas Strip at about 3:30 a.m.
He said he was hopeful that they were going to be able to rescue the woman but a fire grew quickly and she was essentially trapped in the 2013 Toyota RAV4.
