The driver responsible for the tragic death of NHL players Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau had a blood-alcohol level of .087, exceeding New Jersey’s legal limit.
The prosecutor revealed that the driver, Sean M. Higgins, had a history of road rage and reckless driving, which contributed to his impatience that led to the fatal accident.
Defense lawyer Matthew Portella characterized Higgins as a good person who made a terrible decision, emphasizing his role as a loving father and law-abiding citizen prior to the crash.
Superior Court Judge Michael J. Silvanio indicated that Higgins' admitted 'impatience' was a key factor in the incident, highlighting the danger of his choices.
