A recently released police video shows a guy repeatedly pleading with officers to aid the former NFL great Henry Ruggs III as soon as possible at the scene of Henry Ruggs’ vehicle crash in Las Vegas with the accident video viral
What has been the story?
On November 2, 2021, someone who was present at the site of Ruggs’ horrific collision with Tina Tintor’s Toyota may have been captured on body camera footage desperately attempting to assist Ruggs. The man can be seen repeatedly demanding a police officer to provide medical assistance to Ruggs immediately while 23-year-old Tintor and her dog were dying in a fire only a few feet away.

The man pointed to Tintor’s Rav4, saying, “I know somebody may be in there, but this is Henry Ruggs right here. Henry Ruggs is standing right here. He is a member of the Raiders. He urgently needs assistance.” The man was advised by an officer to calm down, but as officers investigated the crash scene, he persisted in pleading for help for the former wide receiver. “Hey, look, he plays for the Raiders,” the man said again. “Bro, he needs help now.”
Eventually, a police officer informed the man and other witnesses present that medical personnel were en-route to Ruggs, who was seated on the pavement close to a curb. The horrific nature of the collision is further demonstrated by the footage, which features explosions emanating from Tintor’s car as it burns in the middle of the road.
Cops were captured on camera discussing the collision after it had been cleaned up, with one claiming he thought he could see skid marks and debris many yards from where the two cars had come to a stop.
The further picture
As we previously mentioned, Ruggs finally faced five counts for his part in the collision after it was discovered that he had allegedly been drinking immediately before colliding with Tintor at 156 mph.
Ruggs, 24, and the prosecution came to a deal earlier this month to end the case. Ruggs admitted guilt to one misdemeanour count of vehicular manslaughter and one felony count of DUI causing death. The remainder of Ruggs’ charges were dropped in return.
Ruggs consented to a sentence of 3 to 10 years in prison as part of the agreement. At a hearing on August 9, he will find out the precise duration of the prison term.
