FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — An autopsy report shows that former Buckeye quarterback Dwayne Haskins was legally drunk when he was fatally struck by a dump truck on a Florida highway last month.
The Broward County Medical Examiner said in its report released Monday that Haskins’ blood-alcohol content was more than twice the legal level for driving when he was struck April 9.
The 24-year-old former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback had run out of gas on Interstate 595 near Fort Lauderdale about dawn.
He told a companion he was going to find a gas station.
The dump truck driver told investigators Haskins stepped in front of him as he traveled in the center lane
