The driver of the dump truck has been cleared of responsibility with the release of the findings. It was a tragic accident brought on by a series of decisions by Haskins.

Dwayne Haskins was legally drunk when he was struck by a dump truck on I-595 in Florida and killed on April 9, according to a toxicology report released by the office of the Broward County Medical Examiner on Monday.

According to the toxicology report, two separate samples taken from Haskins' body had alcohol levels of .20 and .24, both of which are above the legal limit in Florida of .08. According to the report, Haskins also tested positive for ketamine and norketamine, drugs that are used by medical professionals as anesthetics but that also have been known to be used recreationally.

The medical examiner ruled Haskins' cause of death as multiple blunt force injuries and the manner of his death as an accident.

The medical examiner's investigation report stated that when Haskins' car was found on the side of the highway, a "female companion" was in the vehicle and told the Florida Highway Patrol that Haskins had left the vehicle to try to find gas. The woman's relationship to Haskins was not known, according to the report.

According to 911 audio released in April, Haskins' wife, who was not with him at the time of the accident, told a 911 dispatcher that the quarterback was walking to get gas on the morning he was struck and killed. Kalabrya Haskins told the 911 dispatcher that her husband called her early April 9 and told her he was getting out of his vehicle to get gas and that he would call her back when he returned to the car. When she didn't hear back, she called 911 and requested that dispatch check on him.

A final crash report released by the Florida Highway Patrol in April said Haskins was walking on the westbound side of I-595 when he entered into the travel lanes and into the path of the dump truck, which was traveling in the center lane. The front left of the dump truck struck Haskins.

Shouldda started and stayed with weed. It's a wonder he could stand much less walk. Wonder if the passenger even knew he'd left the car.

Though not at fault in any way the truck driver will still have to live with what happened. That can be very difficult for many individuals.

Why does the ESPN article have the phrase "female companion" in quotes? Why not just say passenger? Is the writer implying something?

I think it is possibly an example of the racist underpinnings of sections of our society. He's black, an athlete, using "female companion" implies that she was more than just a passenger. Whether or not that is the case, I don't know or care.

he had called his wife, so the passenger obviously was not her. And he was way beyond drunk, and on 2 different meds not prescribed to him, so calling her a "companion" is a kindness on the media's part. Hooker? maybe. Mistress? maybe Drug dealer? maybe. Sober Companion? obviously not. Platonic friend? I'm skeptical at best

once again, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
