NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew tragically passed away on Thursday night, a day before their sister Katie’s wedding. Their family, friends, and the NHL world are still shaken by the news of their sudden death.
In recent reports, the alleged man who drunk drove into them, let out an exasperated sigh when the judge ruled that Sean Higgins was to be behind bars until Monday. His next detention hearing is on September 5.
The incident took place when Johnny and Matthew were biking down in southern New Jersey when a car pulled over them in Oldmans Township. According to the police investigation, Sean admitted to being “five to six” bottles down.
The driver Sean, tried to surpass an SUV that came in front of him after the SUV tried to safely pass by the brothers on the road. Tragically, under the influence of alcohol, Sean rammed into the brothers from behind at 8 p.m. on County Route 551, according to multiple reports.
