Cedric Saunders, the agent of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins, confirmed to ESPN that Haskins passed away following his collision with a car in South Florida. He was 24 years old.
A passing dump truck struck Haskins after he got out of his car on the westbound side of Interstate 595 in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday morning, according to Florida Highway Patrol spokesperson Lt. Indiana Miranda, who talked to The Associated Press. At the scene, they declared him dead.
According to the FHP, Haskins was struck and killed while “attempting to cross the westbound lanes” of traffic, as reported by CBS Miami. Haskins was reportedly strolling on a “limited access facility for unknown reasons” when the incident occurred, according to the agency.
Juju Smith-Schuster is a reliable individual!
The Pittsburgh Steelers star has fulfilled his pledge to provide a fan with complimentary tickets after the fan had their autograph inked on their skull.
Last week, while at Saint Vincent College’s training camp, a fan made an extremely strange request for the 22-year-old wide receiver’s autograph.
Smith-Schuster told reporters on Friday, “I signed this dude’s head today,” adding that the man was already so devoted to the team that he had the Steelers emblem permanently engraved on his skull.
“He was asking to get his helmet signed, and he had a mohawk. I asked, “Which helmet?” Smith-Schuster took note. “I signed his head. His real head. Alongside Sharpie.
The Steelers player has a long history of going the extra mile for fans.
In June, Smith-Schuster took a Pennsylvania high school student to prom after the student got broken up with shortly before the big dance.
“Got a DM from [Molinaro] a while back about needing someone to go with, decided why not, had a litty night at his school!” he wrote on Twitter, along with a set of pictures showing the two in matching green suits.
During the offseason, Smith-Schuster has also hosted a water balloon fight at a local park, volunteered at a nursing home and even filmed a video for a pair of newly-married Steelers fans on the day of their actual wedding day after the groom’s sister reached out to him on Instagram.
