Las Vegas Raiders star Henry Ruggs faces DUI charge in fatal crash

Las Vegas Raiders star Henry Ruggs III is facing a felony driving under the influence charge after a collision left another person dead early Tuesday morning, authorities said. The Raiders later released Ruggs from the team.

Local police said Ruggs was driving a Chevrolet Corvette at a "high rate of speed" when he struck the rear of a Toyota Rav4. When officers arrived at the scene, the Toyota was in flames. Fire officials pulled a deceased victim, a 23-year-old woman, from the Toyota, they said.

Ruggs, 22, remained on the scene and showed "signs of impairment," police said. He was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
