Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III was involved in a fatal traffic collision Tuesday in Las Vegas and will be charged with DUI resulting in death.

According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the car accident occurred on Tuesday in Las Vegas around 3:40 a.m. Upon arriving at the scene, fire department personnel discovered a deceased victim inside that car that was not being driven by Ruggs. Ruggs was transported to the University Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries. The deceased victim was inside a Toyota Rav4, while Ruggs was driving a Chevrolet Corvette. Preliminary investigation revealed that the front of the Chevrolet collided with the rear of the Toyota. Ruggs showed signs of impairment, according to Las Vegas police.  The investigation is ongoing.

Ruggs has 24 receptions for 469 yards and two touchdowns this season. In 13 games last season, Ruggs caught 26 passes for 452 yards and two touchdowns. During his three years at Alabama, Ruggs caught 98 passes for 1,716 yards and 24 touchdowns while averaging 17.5 yards per catch.  The Raiders issued the following statement:  “The Raiders are aware of an accident involving Henry Ruggs III that occurred this morning in Las Vegas. We are devastated by the loss of life and our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim’s family. We are in the process of gathering information and will have no further comment at this time.”
