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, Ill do it, the Las Vegas quarterback said Wednesday.

Raiders interim coach Rich Bisaccia said its important to keep the focus on the fact that 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 victims family, Bisaccia said from a prepared statement. Were deeply saddened for everyone affected. Especially the victims family.

Prosecutors said Ruggs was driving at 156 mph with a blood-alcohol content twice Nevadas legal limit before his Chevrolet Corvette slammed into the rear of Tintors vehicle that burned, killing her.

We love Henry Ruggs, and want him to know that, Bisaccia added. Its a terrible lapse in judgment, of the most horrific kind. Its 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.

Ruggs and passenger Kiara Jenai Kilgo-Washington were injured.
