As fans grieved, their hearts broke more when they learned that Dwayne Haskins’ final Instagram post was about finding peace, per The U.S. Sun, and they heard him playfully joking around with teammate Najee Harris in one of his last videos on social media. They also wondered what exactly happened the night Dwayne died. The recording of Kalabrya Haskins’ 911 call answers this question: He was walking on the interstate because he ran out of gas.
Kalabrya had been in contact with her husband and grew concerned when he quit answering his phone. “He said he was going to call me back after he put gas in and I kept calling and kept calling,” she said to a 911 operator, per USA Today. Kalabrya also informed the operator that Dwayne’s phone had stopped functioning, but she knew where he was when she last spoke to him. “I just want somebody to go in the area and see if his car is there and if he’s OK and if anything happened to him,” she continued. While on the phone with the dispatcher, the frantic wife was told something that made her start praying: an accident had already been reported in the location she described.
In her statement about Dwayne’s tragic death, Kalabrya wrote, “He had the smile of a rainbow that touched the diversity of so many. He will forever rest and remain in our hearts til the end of time.”
