Additional details have surfaced regarding the lawsuit surrounding the tragic death of former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins, who reportedly fell victim to drugging and extortion prior to his demise in 2022.
Haskins met his untimely end in Florida during a training session with his teammates, when he was fatally struck by a dump truck while endeavoring to cross an interstate. Reports suggest his vehicle had run out of gas upon entering the highway.
The lawsuit, pertaining to this incident, alleges that Haskins was drugged and robbed by a group comprising one man and three women. It also asserts that the dump truck was speeding, operated recklessly, and breached weight limit regulations. Furthermore, it claims that the rental truck driven by Haskins had a defect which caused it to run out of gas.
Moreover, the legal action accuses the state of failing to install lower speed limit signs in a construction zone, potentially contributing to the fatal collision. ESPN reports that the Haskins family has reached “partial settlements” with the dump truck’s driver, owner, and broker.
