The LVMPD responded to the crash early Tuesday – around 3.39 – near an intersection where a Chevrolet Corvette and a Toyota RAV4 were found burning. Firefighters responded and found a dead person in the Toyota, police said.
“Preliminary investigation shows that the front of the Chevrolet collided with the rear of the Toyota,” LVMPD said in a thread on Twitter.
The 22-year-old Ruggs was identified as the driver of the Chevrolet and remained at the scene showing signs of malfunction, police said. He was taken to University Medical Center in southern Nevada for injuries that were not in danger.
“On behalf of our client Henry Ruggs III, we are conducting our own investigation since this writing and ask everyone to detain the verdict until all the facts have been gathered,” the statement said.
“We are devastated by the loss of lives and our thoughts and prayers go to the victim’s family,” the team said in a statement. “We are in the process of gathering information and will not have any further comments at this time.”
