[quote=Stacks42;1315182]Just sad all around. He was on the phone with his wife after he ran out of gas, just prior to his death.

Wow.. that is just brutal.

Re: RIP Dwayne Haskins
 

Is this still making no sense to anybody else or is it just me?

Dude runs out of gas but tries to cross the highway on foot. If I’m walking to get gas I walk along the shoulder to the next exit, I don’t try to cross the highway.

People called 911 to report a guy in the middle of the lane before he was hit. So clearly he tried to cross. But why would you ever do that??

I’m so confused. Definitely need the toxicology report because this sounds like a decision you’d only make if you were drunk or high, right?

I’m with you. Lotta questions

Re: RIP Dwayne Haskins
 

I'm not trying to make sense of it really. Dude joins the long list of those that died too young, and that sucks. Beyond that I don't need it to "make sense".

Maybe he tried to cross the road, because that was the quickest way to the nearest gas station.

Maybe he was so drunk he thought the dump truck [I]was[/I] the gas station.

Maybe he didn't see the truck, or he misjudged how much time he had to cross, because the truck was speeding.

Maybe he didn't hear the truck because he had earbuds in.

Maybe he was just smoked from a long day and wasn't thinking clearly.

Who knows? It's all speculation at this point. I guess I just don't understand why people are so eager to see that toxicology report, or put all the pieces of the puzzle together, other than to hopefully validate their theories that he was a shit bag and made bad decisions until he finally perished because of one of them.

Let the young man RIP.

Re: RIP Dwayne Haskins
 

wasn't there, and we probably won't ever know the full truth. It doesn't really matter; he's still dead before his time. No need to flog it.

I'm with you on this.
With the few informations I could not help but see it sure seems like he made questionnable choices on that morning... But am I the only one feeling like all those informations should [I]not[/I] come out ? Like in what world is this normal that camera security footage and most of all 911 calls are leaked online ?
If an emergency situation happens to you are you ok with the phone call you made to 911 being leaked online? That feels super weird to me that we (I didn't click) get to listen/view these things. Let the family and the police handle this, we don't need to know...

Depends on the layout of the highway - if he ran out of gas in the HOV lanes on 95 south of the beltway he might have to walk for miles to reach a safe exit, vs. crossing immediately and being in walking distance of a gas station. Not saying thats the case but it could be the reason why he tried to cross. If he was in the active lanes and the next exit was miles away he might've thought crossing was the quickest route.

Sad thing is VA literally has huge fleets of mobile trucks whose job it is to assist stranded drivers - and they carry gas with them specifically for situations like this. Not sure if that's the case in Florida or not but I bet if he had stayed put someone would've showed up to help - a cop, mobile safety truck - lotta people working that highway that know it isn't safe to be out on foot out there.

I don't think there is much to wrap around here. People do stupid shit around cars all the time. People have zero understanding and judgement of how fast 65 mph really is. Last year there was an accident on 83. Right lane blocked, the accident had just happened so people were still driving fast. This lady involved went to center lane to stand and wave at traffic to move. It was such a dangerous move. I was in left lane and she would appear and disappear from my field of vision as cars merged and applied brakes. Yesterday a student at a local school died doing the same thing Dwayne did on 83. Definitely questionable behavior in all accounts.

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. The Police and his Wife all seem to verify what happen. Some just need to let the young man's death be what it was, a tragic accident and nothing more.

Agree with this

Re: RIP Dwayne Haskins
 

First of all how does someone run out of gas? Never understood that especially with most cars these days that will tell you how many miles you have left.

Re: RIP Dwayne Haskins
 

And if you do run out of gas, that's what AAA is for. I'm starting to lean towards Schneed's side on this. So many bad moves on Dwayne's part here. Stay in the car, call for help. And don't run out of gas in the first place. It was a comedy of errors that led to tragedy.

There could have been a Gas Station off the interstate on the other side of the road. He was probably talking to his wife on the phone and not paying attention to what he was doing.

Well there was a report of a drunk female in the car with him, clearly was not his wife.. Maybe he didn't want to call anyone because he knew he'd get caught. When you are trying to hide something you tend to do dumb shit. Starting to think he may have been a little buzzed and he was paranoid of getting caught. Just as assumption.

Knock on wood but I have never ran out of gas, I agree there should be no way in todays world of cars that u run out.. It's just laziness or u are broke and cant afford gas (clearly not his case)
