NHL player Johnny Gaudreau of the Columbus Blue Jackets tragically lost his life at the age of 31 in a fatal bicycle accident in his home state of New Jersey. The incident occurred on Thursday night in Salem County, New Jersey, where Gaudreau and his younger brother, Matthew, were struck and killed by a car while cycling.
The Gaudreau brothers, who were in town for their sister Katie's wedding, were cycling on a road when a driver, suspected to be under the influence of alcohol, attempted to pass two vehicles and hit them from behind. Both brothers were pronounced dead at the scene.
