Henry Ruggs slammed into the rear of the victim, Tina Tintor’s Toyota Rav4 on a residential street where the speed limit is 45 mph (72 kph).

As per a statement from Clark County Coroner Melanie Rouse, released through a county spokesman, the 23-year-old Tina “died from thermal injuries due to a motor vehicle collision on Nov. 2”.

“Other significant conditions contributing to her death were inhalation of products of combustion, fractures of the nasal bones, right-sided ribs … left forearm and (chest),” the statement said. “The manner of her death was accidental.”

Clark County spokesman Erik Pappa denied in a Nov. 11 statement there were any “delays in response or in the attack on the fire.”

The statement added that the fire captain on scene reported that the vehicle was fully engulfed in flames when the firefighters arrived “and the passenger compartment was not survivable for anyone inside.” The court has postponed a preliminary hearing of evidence in the case from this week to March 10.
