The woman [victim], described by Metro as a Las Vegas resident, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. The Clark County coroner’s office is expected to release the woman’s name after her relatives have been notified.

Police said Ruggs and his girlfriend, who share a young daughter, were treated for “serious” injuries at University Medical Center before Ruggs was transferred to the county jail in downtown Las Vegas. According to Metro records, Ruggs arrived at the jail shortly after 2:10 p.m. and remained in custody as of Tuesday evening.

A video posted Monday night to the football player’s public Snapchat account showed that he was at Topgolf Las Vegas hours before the crash. Authorities have not said where Ruggs and his girlfriend were headed at the time of the crash, but according to county property records, they were a few miles away from the football player’s $1.1 million home when the crash occurred.
