The Columbus Blue Jackets confirmed that the rumour involving Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau's deaths was true. The hockey world has been and will continue to mourn the loss of the Gaudreau brothers on Friday.
New Jersey police have revealed to 6ABC that 43-year old driver Sean Higgins was arrested and charger with two counts of driving under the influence and death by auto.
It was reported by police that Higgins was under the influence, and attempted to pass multiple vehicles ahead of him, ultimately hitting both Matthew and Johnny Gaudreau while they were on their bicycles and taking the lives of both of them.
"Police say 43-year-old Sean M. Higgins, of Woodstown, New Jersey, was traveling north on County Route 551 in a Jeep Grand Cherokee when he allegedly attempted to pass a slower-moving sedan and SUV.
Police say Higgins entered the southbound lanes of the roadway, and passed the sedan.
When he attempted to reenter the northbound lanes, police say the SUV in front of him moved into the middle of the roadway, splitting the north and south lanes in order to safely pass two bicyclists on the right side of the road.
Higgins then attempted to pass the SUV on the right and struck the Gaudreau brothers from behind, troopers said." 6ABC said.
The mugshot of Sean Higgins has been released to the public.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Gaudreau family and friends. May they Rest in Peace.
