Dwayne Haskins died tragically on April 9, 2022 when he was hit by a truck while attempting to cross an interstate on foot in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He was in the area with several of his Pittsburgh Steelers teammates for training.
On April 20 the 911 call from his wife was released by the Broward County Sheriff’s office. Kalabrya Gondrezick-Haskins told the 911 dispatcher that her husband had called her early on the morning of April 9th, telling her he had run out of gas and was leaving his vehicle to get more. He had also told his wife that he would call her back once he had returned to the car. When she did not hear back from him, she called 911 and requested that the police check on him.

Dwayne Haskins’ final crash report released
The Florida Highway Patrol also released the final crash report. According to ESPN, the report indicates that Haskins was walking on the side of I-595 when he entered the travel lanes, which was in the path of the dump truck that was moving down the center lane.
According to the final crash report, he was improperly in the lane. The investigating officer concluded that the driver of the truck did not take any action that contributed to the incident. A second car also struck him, as it was traveling in an adjacent lane when the truck took evasive maneuvers to avoid him. The incident remains under investigation.
A truly tragic death that has sparked an outpouring of tributes from NFL fans and former teammates at both Ohio State and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Three memorial services for Dwayne Haskins will take place in Pittsburgh, PA, Rockaway Township, NJ, and Potomac, MD. Born in Highland Park, New Jersey, he was 24 at the time of his death.
In 2019, the Washington Football Team drafted him in Round 1 with the 15th overall pick. He started 7 games as a rookie alongside his college teammate, McLaurin. In 2021, Haskins signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he played alongside former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
