Henry Ruggs accident video: Footage resurfaces of how fast former Raiders WR drove moments before the tragic incident

As Henry Ruggs pleaded guilty to the charges emanating from a case where he was driving under the influence and causing a fatality, thoughts turned back to the horrific accident itself.

Footage re-emerged of the terrible crash that caused the death of Tina Tintor on November 2, 2021. The Raiders wide receiver was having a good season on the field but made a terrible decision, leading to the demise of a 23-year-old victim. He was released by the NFL franchise while he was still in the hospital recuperating from his injuries sustained in the crash.

Ruggs was driving his car at 156 miles per hour, well over the speed limit, and under the influence. His blood alcohol level of 0.16% was twice the legal limit in Nevada. It crashed into the victim's car, and she was incinerated as her car caught fire.

One can see the speed with which he was driving below. Viewer discretion is advised.
