Tragic all around, especially for the young woman who was killed. Ruggs will spend time in prison — I think the minimum is two years — and may never restart his football career. Unfortunately that's what can happen when you take a 22-year-old with much more money than judgement. I also don't understand how Ruggs and his GF could have survived if his Corvette struck the victim's car at 127 MPH. The front of Rugg's vehicle was completely crushed, but not Ms. Tintor's Rav4, which caught on fire. Maybe the crash wasn't head on, or perhaps both cars were moving. It also makes me wonder if the Corvette had an emergency braking system and if it was active, though I'm not aware how these systems function at such high speeds. I've had AEB on two cars and it doesn't take much to set them off.
