Dwayne Haskins DTS

Struck by a car. 24 years old.

Dump truck. I’m in Lauderdale this weekend. He was trying to cross I-595. Walking across an interstate is hazardous to health. Not sure if his car broke down or what but he was dead at the scene.

Very sad story. I heard he had just finished working out at a gym.  Not sure where he was going.

Walking across 595?!?!

there's no reasonable reason in this world to be cross that highway on foot....

Most all the ones I’ve seen try this wind up deader than beaver hats…….except the drunk ones……they mostly live. God must have a huge sense of humor.

And now there's a truck driver who has to live with this for the rest of his life through no fault of his own.

Hate to ask but I have googled for a solid 10 minutes can't figure it out. What does DTS stand for as used here and frequently in SA?

Much appreciated.

I think senor Rick coined the phrase many years and it stuck.

I believe you are right. He did use the phrase. I’m not sure who abbreviated  it to the current acronym.

Thats a raised highway in that area. Not an easy place to get to by foot. Sad story. 

 

[d'ranger]

Very sad and tragic for sure - is it too soon for "the last thing that went thru his mind was a bumper?"

yeah, probably so.  Well it's a beautiful Sunday here and the wind is honking and races are cancelled.

In my head, it's "down the shitter".

 

[Bristol-Cruiser]

I guess I am too nice a guy, I thought without evidence that it was 'Dead Too Soon', which would be appropriate in this case. I wondered why I saw it applied to people in their 90s.

I initially figured Dead Trump Supporter, but after reading a few knew that was wrong.

Same here!

Crossing there would have only gotten him to the airport perimeter, at a remote end of the airport at that. The spot described in the article is a choke point of vehicles leaving the airport, coming from US 1, and Port Everglades. All converging on 95 with everyone jockeying for the north bound and south bound exits as well as continuing west on 595. Completely suicidal to try and cross.
