    He was attempting to cross the west bound lanes of Interstate 595. I have not seen what time of the morning this happened and the haven't released why he was out there yet.

    I agree that is very sad news but why in the world would anybody try and cross the highway like that on foot? That is totally irresponsible.

    Pittsburgh Steelers QB Dwayne Haskins drank heavily, had ketamine in system and went to a club with a 'cousin or friend' the night before he was killed by dump truck while walking along Florida highway, autopsy reveals
    • Dwayne Haskins, 24, was killed near Fort Lauderdale on April 9, while crossing a highway in the early hours
    • He had been for dinner with a relative and they argued, so Haskins left: he was then driving in a car with an inebriated woman when they ran out of gas
    • Haskins rang his wife of a year, Kalabrya, who was at home in Pittsburg, to tell her he had ran out of gas and was walking to get more
    • When he failed to call her back, she rang 911 and discovered that he had been killed by a garbage truck
    • On Monday it emerged that he had double the legal blood-alcohol limit in his system, and ketamine

    What are the odds he suffered from CTE?

    I've never tried ketamine so I'm not familiar with how that would effect driving, but it obviously didn't turn him in to Mario Andretti.. Would not be surprised if there was some CTE issues, but you'd think they would have mentioned that in the autopsy report. Send his brain to the Junior Seau institute, or wherever they're doing those studies.
