The Florida lawsuit alleges that the former Ohio State star was drugged and robbed by a man and three women in the hours before the April 2022 accident.
Dwayne Haskins' family has filed a lawsuit over his death, saying the Pittsburgh Steelers QB was drugged before he was hit by a dump truck.The family of deceased Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins has filed a lawsuit against several people, businesses and the state of Florida, claiming he was drugged, robbed and extorted before he was fatally struck while standing drunk on a highway after running out of gas.
It says the pickup truck Haskins had rented had a mechanical defect that caused it to run out of gas. The family also alleges that the state highway department didn't properly maintain and light the road, or post a lower speed limit while construction work was being done. They say a temporary sign blocked visibility on the highway.
The Associated Press is not naming the individuals and businesses Haskins' family are suing because no criminal charges have been filed against any of them and there is nothing yet filed in court substantiating any of the claims. Haskins' blood-alcohol content was 0.20, according to his autopsy. That's 2.5 times the 0.08 legal limit for driving in the state.
