Derek Carr said Henry Ruggs III needs to be loved right now and needs to know he has people in his corner.
"And if no one else will do it, I'll do it," the Las Vegas quarterback said Wednesday.
Raiders interim coach Rich Bisaccia said it's important to keep the focus on the fact 23-year-old Tina O. Tintor was killed Tuesday morning in a fiery crash caused by Ruggs, the 22-year-old receiver who was cut by the team Tuesday night.
"We want to express our sincere condolences to the victim's family," Bisaccia said from a prepared statement. "We're deeply saddened for everyone affected. Especially the victim's family."
Prosecutors said Ruggs was driving at 156 mph with a blood-alcohol content twice Nevada's legal limit before his Chevrolet Corvette slammed into the rear of Tintor's vehicle that burned, killing her.
"We love Henry Ruggs, and want him to know that," Bisaccia added. "It's a terrible lapse in judgment, of the most horrific kind. It's something that he will have to live with the rest of his life. The gravity of the situation is not lost on anyone here and we understand and respect the loss of life."
"My emotions have been on a roller coaster so to speak this year," Carr said. "My heart goes out so much. I'll try to say it with a straight face because I've already been emotional about every bit of this. But to the family, to all the families involved, no one ever wants to see this, whether it's a football player or not, you never want to see something like this happen. It broke my wife and I's heart, honestly."
The crash came three weeks after Jon Gruden resigned as coach over emails he sent before being hired by the team in 2018.

He needs 50 years to life, not a nice little hug.
Ok Daren...........
He’s gonna get lots of love where he’s going.
His new cell mate will help out in that area!
It would be racist to prosecute him for such a trivial matter. 🤡
Yep, in the shower stall in the state Penn.
What about the victims and their family? No love for them, Derek?
.
Carr is a pandering idiot.
The woman and the dog were totally innocent.
Riggs needs to see Prison walls for 25 years.
Carr needs to be told he sounds like a 5 yr old.
He thinks he’s buying points with the media and NFL.
.
Oh, he'll get hugs alright. First he'll have to tell the story of how he was driving 156 mph when he snuffed out his victim. Everyone at the trial should wear "Tina can't breathe" t-shirts.
He is loved. His Lord and Savior loves him. He needs to reflect on that and place himself in His hands. His mortal life isn’t looking too good right now.
he was “crying” at the scene because he knows he’s going to jail. He didnt give a crap about the victim while the bystanders were the ones who tried to help open the burning car..
These are the same people that go nuts and cast out people if they are unvaccinated (see: Aaron Rodgers)
Three hots and a cot for the rest of his life for free?
“a terrible lapse of judgment”? ... Stick to football, Derek. You may be a sweet and well-intentioned man, but your moral compass is broken and you sound like a unwise man.
YUp. Derek Carr. His wife went on Twitter years ago and bitched that his front line INTENTIONALLY wanted him to get sacked because he overheard they hated white quarterbacks. Im surprised he’s still there..
Love?
He needs a good lawyer.
Is there ANYTHING that sportsball heroes don’t know?
I feel the GM is financial liable for this accident. The Corvette depending on model can hit 190 mph. WHAT!!!!! No reason to produce that car. Sorry, I grew up in the truly great era of muscle cars. GM you can’t hide on this one.
