Sean Higgins indicted for multiple crimes related to the deaths of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau

According to a report from NBC 10 Philadelphia, a grand jury has indicted drunken driver Sean Higgins on a litany of charges relating to the deaths of Matthew and Johnny Gaudreau.

From NBC 10:

On Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2024, a grand jury indicted Sean Higgins, 43, of Woodstown, New Jersey, on charges of second-degree reckless vehicular homicide, first-degree aggravated manslaughter, fourth-degree tampering with physical evidence and second-degree leaving the scene of a fatal accident.

Matthew and Johnny Gaudreau were both killed after Higgins allegedly struck them down with his Jeep Grand Cherokee. The brothers were cycling on Country Route 551 in Oldmans Township, NJ when Higgins allegedly made an illegal pass and hit the brothers who were on the right side of the road.

Higgins failed a sobriety test from police and admitted to drinking "five or six beers" prior to the crash. Higgins was arrested on site and has been housed at the Salem County Correctional Facility since his arrest in August. Last month he was deemed a flight risk and was ordered to remain in jail until the trial, which is scheduled to begin January 7th, 2025.
