re: Update on Ruggs: Accused of driving 156 MPH, .161 BAC and loaded weapon

We had one in TN where a truck driver hit a woman in a stopped car from behind going less than 30mph, she was wearing her seatbelt, and died instantly.

Hell you can get hit in the chest at a certain point during your heart beat and die instantly. Human life is fragile.

Side point: It’s crazy how many of our ancestors skirted death for us to be here right now

Yep, and very similar situation. Drunk teen slams into their car at a stoplight. Kid was driving around 90 at impact IIRC. They both were wearing seatbelts but died from internal injuries. If Ruggs was driving 127 at impact, she very easily could have died at impact, which is all I hope under the circumstances. I pray that she didn't burn alive.

Rod's car was impacted from behind, then slammed into a pole. I think the secondary impact directly resulted in their deaths if I recall correctly.

This lady they say rolled for 500ft after impact, so who knows.

The black box in the vette is going to hammer Ruggs in court
