NHL superstar Johnny Gaudreau, 31, and Matthew, 29, were both killed by a alleged drunk driver who struck them while they were riding their bikes home in their hometown of New Jersey. The pair were home to celebrate their sisters wedding that was scheduled for the day after, unfortunately, it never took place for obvious reasons.
At the scene of the crime, Sean Higgins, the drunk driver told authorities that he consumed "5 to 6 beers", but it is now confirmed that his blood alcohol level was over the legal limit of 0.08%, specifically it was at 0.087%.
Sean Higgins' wife reveals further details
Flynn, the wife of Sean Higgins revealed that he started drinking at home around 3:00pm, and got upset and aggressive by a phone call that took place. He went into his car, left his house and drove around in his Jeep Grand Cherokee during a two-hour phone conversation with a friend.
She further revealed that her husband is no stranger to reckless and aggressive driving.
A judge has said that the confidential 911 call could be released to the public, but it seems very unlikely as the Gaudreau family want to keep those details private. Sean Higgins is set to appear in court in early November, he is facing two counts of vehicular homicide, as well as several traffic violations.
