The family of former NFL quarterback Dwayne Haskins have filed a lawsuit claiming the late Pittsburgh Steelers star was drugged, robbed and extorted before he was fatally hit on a motorway last year.
Filed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the lawsuit claims Haskins was drugged and robbed by a man and three women in the hours before the 9 April 2022 incident. The lawsuit - filed against several people, businesses and the state of Florida - also names the driver and owner of the dump truck that fatally struck Haskins, alleging it exceeded the speed limit while possessing worn tires.
Haskins had been in South Florida for offseason workouts with Steelers teammates when the accident happened. The lawsuit alleges the incident took place at a Boca Raton hotel, a high-end driving range, a bar and a nightclub.
