Praying he's OK. Man I was young once and did some really stupid things (not saying Ruggs definitely did here), but nothing good happens after midnight. I learned that lesson the hard way myself.

Holy shite. This has been an awful last few days for former Bama stars in the NFL. That picture looks bad. Very bad.

Holy chit that looks bad! "There is a local report that says there was at least one fatality in the crash." Just awful, I hope he's OK.

Even if he isn't the fatality he's not going to be "Ok." Physically, that's a high speed impact so the chance everybody got injured is high. Even if he beat those odds, someone is dead. Emotionally that's going to be hard no matter who was at fault.

Prayers are going to be badly needed for everyone involved.

Pure speculation but I assume the sports car is his. The other car looks to have been hit on multiple sides

It also burned. Note the charring and the melted license plate.

There’s also rumors he was driving under the influence. Nothing confirmed on that yet so hopefully not true

Hopefully. Thats probably irresponsibly rumored every time a famous person is in an accident

TMZ now reporting that Henry Ruggs is OK

"10:27 AM PT -- A source close to Ruggs tells us the NFL'er is expected to be OK. The condition of the other people involved in the crash is still unclear."

And considering his history with a HS friend of his dying because of a car accident, it makes him all more stupid. He of all people should understand the consequences and what people have to go through

Terrible decision that cost another human their life and will cost him his career.

Please don't drink and drive. Sleep in your car if you can't find an Uber or a Lyft. Because this is the kind of shite that happens. One person is dead, the other person's life is pretty much over. There's literally no good that can ever possibly come from being anything besides sober when you operate a car, boat, motorcycle, or whatever.

Its so avoidable.....just a waste...a person lost their life and Ruggs' career is over and life ruined.
