Police say Johnny, 31, and Matthew, 29, were struck and killed while biking near their hometown. Higgins was found beside his damaged vehicle about a quarter mile from the scene.

A driver who was in front of Higgins told police that Higgins had been driving aggressively. When she and the vehicle ahead of her slowed down and moved left to go around the cyclists, Higgins sped up and veered right, striking the Gaudreaus, she said.

"I've been drinking beers," Higgins told police before performing field sobriety tests. In the video, Higgins stated that he had about "five or six" beers starting around noon on the day of the crash.
