Johnny and his brother were riding bicycles near Philadelphia when they were struck by a car and died.

This was originally reported as a rumor, but is sadly true.

Unconfirmed reports late this evening that Johnny Gaudreau has tragically died

No confirmation yet from official sources, just a murky online rumor.

I just cannot believe it.

That family is going through absolute hell right now. Jesus Christ.

Don’t drink and drive, I know I’ve done it in the past but it’s absolutely pointless in this day and age with Uber Lyft etc. Two young men lost their lives and their family is going through an unspeakable time right now because somebody decided to get behind a wheel of a car drunk

Not exactly sure that is the case here. The driver stayed at the scene and was not arrested.

I hope so, but every report that I have seen stated it was a drunk driver

damn, that's more than I had seen in the article I had up...

The crash happened around 8:30 p.m. on Pennsville Auburn Road near Stumpy Lane in Oldmans Township.

Johnny, 31, and Matthew, 29, were traveling north on County Route 551, close to the line on the side of the roadway.

Police say 43-year-old Sean M. Higgins, of Woodstown, New Jersey, was traveling north on County Route 551 in a Jeep Grand Cherokee when he allegedly attempted to pass a slower-moving sedan and SUV.

Police say Higgins entered the southbound lanes of the roadway, and passed the sedan.

When he attempted to reenter the northbound lanes, police say the SUV in front of him moved into the middle of the roadway, splitting the north and south lanes in order to safely pass two bicyclists on the right side of the road.

Higgins then attempted to pass the SUV on the right and struck the Gaudreau brothers from behind, troopers said.

As an avid cyclist, that encompasses some of my deepest fears while at the same time making my blood boil.

this is the intersection where it happened...it isn't the most cyclist friendly road, that's for sure. I grew up maybe 20 mins from here.
