The Broward County Sheriff’s Office officially released 911 calls from multiple frantic callers before and after Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins was struck and killed in South Florida by a dump truck while walking along I-595 highway.
“Oh my God! Oh my God, what the f— is wrong with you, get the f–k out of the road!” a woman is heard yelling during a 911 call (h/t NBC Sports Washington).
The woman can later be heard screaming and crying just moments after Haskins was fatally struck.
The call is disconnected which prompts the dispatch officer to call the woman back.
“I’m sorry ma’am, I was trying to hear you, I’m in the middle of [5]95,” the woman says while crying. “There was a man hit in front of me, I was traveling on the road and I saw a dump truck hit the man.”
“Okay, ma’am take a deep breath so we can get some help please,” the dispatcher says in an attempt to calm the woman down. “Ma’am I need you to really take a deep breath, we have to help him until the paramedics get there.”
One a separate call a woman explains Haskins was hit. She is later heard talking to other witnesses, “There’s blood everywhere does anybody have gloves?”
Dwayne Haskins’ wife, Kalabrya, had called 911 in Pittsburgh after she hadn’t received a call back from Haskins. who told her he ran out of gas on the side of the road and he was going to walk to get gas.
“I was driving on 595 and there’s a body in the middle of the street,” a man says in another 911 call. “I don’t know if the person’s dead or passed out or hit but he was in the middle of the lane on 595.”
Haskins was 24 years old. He was in South Florida with his Steelers teammates working out at the time of his death.
Haskins’ family will hold two funeral services this weekend. The first service will be held Saturday at noon at Christ Church in Rockaway Township, New Jersey. Haskins was a New Jersey native. The second memorial service will be held at Bullis School in Potomac, Maryland where he went to high school.
