Judge Extends Indictment Deadline for Driver in Gaudreau Brothers' Fatal Crash

Sean M. Higgins, charged with vehicular homicide, appeared in court as the prosecution was granted more time to seek formal charges.

Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau were killed while cycling in New Jersey on August 29, allegedly by an impaired driver.
Sean M. Higgins, the accused, had a blood-alcohol level of .087 and a history of aggressive driving, according to authorities.
The Gaudreau family attended the court hearing but declined to comment on the proceedings.
Higgins faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted of the charges, including vehicular homicide and reckless driving.
No plea deal has been discussed, and Higgins remains in custody as a flight risk, pending further court proceedings.
