Dwayne Haskins’ final moments before Steelers star was struck and killed by truck while walking on highway are revealed
NFL star Dwayne Haskins spent his final moments "wandering" across a highway before being killed by a dump truck, according to one witness.
The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback was killed on Saturday morning while attempting to cross highway I-95 on foot at around 7am.
Chris Stanley told the outlet he saw cars veering into his lane before he dialled 911.
He added: "And then I noticed an individual there starting to make their way onto the road.
“It looked like a person who was in black clothes, so I ended up staying on the left lane.";

Stanley added: "I passed him up, you know, wandering off into the highway.
"He was about halfway, to a quarter way in the right lane already onto the highway and I was already concerned that somebody was going to strike him right there at that moment."

Haskins - who signed a new contract with the Steelers just weeks ago - had been in Florida as part of team training.

On Friday, Haskins shared his final post on his Instagram story, a reposted quote that read "'It is what it is’ will keep you at peace."
