Ruggs was behind the wheel of a Chevrolet Corvette when it collided with the rear of a Toyota RAV4 early Tuesday near the intersection of South Rainbow Boulevard and South Spring Valley Parkway, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said.
Officers responded to the crash at around 3:39 a.m. and found the Toyota on fire, cops said.
