Found my dog laying in street, what happened
I let my dog out for what seemed only a few mins, maybe less then 10 min. I had been training him to stay in the yard, but I was so busy doing laundry, I thought I'll let him out really quick and put one load in then run out to check on him. I went out and found him laying in street. He had a heart beat but his tongue was hanging out with a small a mount of blood coming from his mouth. He looked perfectly in on piece, I wasn't even sure if he was hit by car but he had a glazed over look in his eyes and his body was limp when I picked him up.
I rushed him to the vet, but they couldn't save him. Dr only said he was able to revive him but wasn't sure what had happened and I didn't know either being that I wasn't out there. My guilt overwhelms me day and night. I cry all day long, I can't sleep. He was the best dog, little yorkie poodle mix with so much love to give. He was a stray that I had picked up because I wanted to give him a good life but he ended up dead on street anyway. Can anyone tell me what might have happened. Was he hit by car but no signs of being ran over. I don't get it. I want closure.

I'm sorry for your loss.
This can only ever be speculation, but given how quick it was it's likely the dog was hit by a car (or some other forceful impact, but that's a hideous thought). Any ingestion of poison or possible snake bite would take longer than that to cause such limpness and will often cause seizures.
Without seeing what happened, and no autopsy, no one can give you that definitive answer. Try to forgive yourself, we all carry regrets and make mistakes.
Please take these wise words from the comments by mhwombat
Please remember that once you adopted him, he had a life filled with
love. That's more important than the length of his life. I hope that
when you are ready, you adopt another pet. You clearly have a lot of
love and compassion to give to an animal that needs it.
