Damn. Airbags deployed at 127 mph?

Prosecutor Eric Bauman said Ruggs was traveling at 156 mph about 2 seconds before the crash. He was at 127 mph when airbags deployed.— Katelyn Newberg (@k_newberg) November 3, 2021

Hard to fathom the stupidity. I have been guilty of getting behind the wheel after a couple drinks in my youth but I always was mindful of it and drove like a grandma. I wouldn't drive that fast stone cold sober on a road I shared with others, let alone intoxicated. This goes way beyond drunk driving.

And a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit. Something tells me that he’s going away for a long, long time

And every single dollar he ever earned in the NFL (and probably them some) is also going away too. Whatever is left of it.

Three thoughts come to mind.....

1) I don't see how this dude is still alive after hitting something at that speed

2) He is going away for a few years in the joint.

3) He will never step on an NFL field again

Must feel terrible to have such a promising career and good life and throw it away by killing someone drunk off your ***. Definitely going to jail and losing all his money and career over.....and still gotta live with all that

There was also a woman in his car that survived...

Do we know what kind of car he was driving? Some high-end rides are really heavy.

If he hit someone in a Corolla going 120 - 150 MPH, he go through that car like it's tinfoil.

Corvette I believe. And the victim was in a Rav 4

NFL career likely over but small potatoes compared to someone's life being over.

How could he not be convicted? Drunk, driving 156 mph in the city, and rear-ends another car. And kills the occupant.

He's just lucky that Corvette has good driver protection.

That explains why the rav four burned. He probably wedged right up under it and took out the fuel tank directly.

Apparently Ruggs lost a good friend in HS in a one car flip over where the driver was driving recklessly in rain and lost control. So sad that this didn't have any effect on his driving habits.

Even in a Corvette , it's hard to get a vehicle up to 156 mph on city streets. Incredible.

I personally think its "incredible" that a car that will do 156mph (or more) is legal on the streets anyway
