LAS VEGAS (AP) — Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III was released from a hospital to a Las Vegas jail ahead of an initial court appearance Wednesday on multiple felony charges after a fiery predawn vehicle crash that left a woman dead and Ruggs and his female passenger injured, police and his attorney said. Ruggs,22, and his passenger were hospitalized with unspecified injuries that police said did not appear life-threatening after the Chevrolet Corvette he was driving slammed at high speed into the rear of a Toyota Rav4 on a busy thoroughfare in a residential area several miles west of the Las Vegas Strip about 3:40 a.m. Tuesday. The Toyota burst into flames and the driver and her dog died, police said. The woman was not immediately identified. Ruggs “showed signs of impairment,” police said in a statement that did not identify the woman who died, the injuries that Ruggs or his passenger received or name Ruggs’ passenger, who remained hospitalized. Police are prohibited by federal privacy law from disclosing medical information, said Officer Larry Hadfield, a department spokesman. Ruggs faces felony charges of driving under the influence of alcohol resulting in death and reckless driving, court records show.
