RIP Justin Strzelczyk
Posted October 3rd, 2004 @ 09:42am by Erik J. Barzeski
Former Pittsburgh Steeler Justin Strzelczyk died after being thrown from his pickup truck after a crash with a hazardous materials tanker truck on I-90 in NY. He had led police on a 37-mile high-speed chase, thrown a beer bottle at them, and crossed the center line. The driver of the tanker was released without injury.

Justin, in his playing days, embodied the spirit of the Steelers: a hard worker who'd punch you in the mouth play after play. It's unfortunate that he chose to do the things which resulted in his death.
