And then I noticed an individual there starting to make their way onto the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The witness said he then saw a man, presumably Haskins, raise up his arms \u201ca little bit as he appeared to be drifting into the major highway,\u201d according to NBC Miami.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was about halfway, to a quarter way in the right lane, already onto the highway and I was already concerned that somebody was going to strike him right there at that moment,\u201d the resident said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStanley said he was so concerned that he dialed 911 and shared a screenshot of his call log with NBC 6 with a call to 911 at 6:31 a.m. \u2014\u00a0six minutes before Florida Highway Patrol officials said the crash was reported at 6:37 a.m.,\u201d the report noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did not see any vehicle nearby\u201d that would have belonged to Haskins, Stanley recounted, adding, \u201cI was more concerned with him because he was already making his way onto the road system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The witness said he was unable to draw any conclusions about what Haskins was doing, or give any other insight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could not,\u201d Stanley told the news team. \u201cThat\u2019s why it\u2019s just very disturbing.

He spent two seasons in Washington before being released by the team in 2020. Haskins signed with the Steelers and backed up two-time Super Bowl champion Ben Roethlisberger last season.
