[Moranis]

Terrible news. Haskins agent reported he was hit by a car this morning and was killed.  He was in South Florida training with other Steeler QB's.  He was 24.  So tragic.

Whoa.  Tragic.

Awful news, RIP 

Also, the way Schefter tweeted about it this morning was absolutely pathetic and I hope he faces repercussions for it. In fact there are a ton of NFL players calling him out for it, and deservedly so. What a clown

The way you framed it I was expecting he said something about Haskins lack of mobility.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins died Saturday morning after he was struck by a dump truck while he was walking on a South Florida highway. Haskins was 24 years old.

Florida Highway Patrol spokesperson Lt. Indiana Miranda confirmed the accident on westbound Interstate 595. Haskins was pronounced dead at the scene.

Miranda didn't say why Haskins was on the highway. The accident caused the highway to be shut down for several hours.

"He was just walking on the highway and got hit," Miranda told The Associated Press.

I was Trying to find out why would a young healthy world class smart athlete in the days of so many cell phones , emergency buttons in modern cars ,  you would risk getting out of your car near I95  ? , much less crossing a huge highway 595  and never hear or see a huge dump truck barreling down on you .  Part of the this tragic story  seems missing IMO .

I think if they release the time the accident took place that might be a little bit more of a window into what could have caused all this

I read somewhere that he'd run out fuel. Total speculation though.

Tragic stuff. RIP.

He couldn’t call someone to bring fuel? The whole thing is very strange.

Toxicology report released today.  Haskins had 2 samples taken he was .2 and .24 in those samples for alcohol (basically 3 times the legal limit of. 08).  He also tested positive for ketamine and norketamine.

Man that's just sad and tragic all the way around 

But to be honest, this makes it a lot more understandable as to how this accident occurred. Though another way to look at it is, the NFL could have easily had another Ruggs incident if Haskins and the other person in his car hadn't run out of gas and continued driving (per the reports).

Still, tragic all around.

Millionaires driving while impaired is something I simply cannot get my head around

Ketamine is a disassociative drug that changes your depth perception among other things.

I think most folks knew some info like this would come out.  None of this made sense
