The Las Vegas Raiders are in another unfortunate situation as they released wide receiver Henry Ruggs III on the night of Nov. 2. This is in response to him being charged with driving under the influence and crashing his car into another car, which left one woman dead, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

The incident happened around 3:39 a.m. on the morning of Nov. 2 near an intersection where LVMPD found a Chevrolet Corvette and a Toyota RAV4 on fire, according to CNN. Firefighters went to the scene to put out the fire and found an individual deceased. 

“A 2020 Chevrolet Corvette was traveling northbound on S. Rainbow Boulevard, south of Spring Valley Parkway, in the center travel lane of three northbound lanes at a high rate of speed. The Chevrolet veered right and entered the right-most travel lane, which the Toyota occupied,” LVMPD said in a press release. “The front of the Chevrolet struck the rear of the Toyota. The Toyota came to final rest and caught on fire with the driver trapped in the driver’s seat.”
