A lot of speculation arose when the rumor was that two bikers had been hit by a motorist near their home. Much of the speculation laid it on the Gaudreau brothers, but some doubts started setting in. Well, it is confirmed now, and facts began coming in on this horrific incident.
As ESPN Get Up's Mike Greenberg detailed, Columbus Blue Jackets star Johnny Gaudreau and his older brother were struck by a 43-year-old male, Sean Higgins. Higgins will be charged with two counts of driving under the influence and causing vehicular homicide.
This morning, the Columbus Blue Jackets released a statement that was absolutely heartfelt, showing just how much teammates and family cared for this young hockey star.
We send our deepest thoughts to the Gaudreau family in this terrible time. We wish all the people who have been affected by this are able to get some help from the community.
