No other details have been released yet, just that it was an “accident”.

I dont get overly angry when a high profile person or celebratory dies, but the way in which this happened makes me angry and sad. No one should get hit while cycling, and no one should be driving under the influence especially in the age of Uber and Lyft.

Got hit by a car while cycling with his brother, according to Frank Seravalli.

Hit by a suspected drunk driver while cycling with his brother. What a loss.

Devastating.

Unimaginable tragedy.
I hate this being reported as a cycling accident. Nothing about their cycling was unexpected or unforseen.
It was if anything, a driving accident that killed two innocent fathers, and given that it seems that the driver was drunk and overtaking two cars on the right, not what I would classify as an unforeseeable “accident”.

I’m a cyclist and a hockey fan. This one sucks on so many levels.

Second Jackets player to be killed while traveling for a wedding in the past 4 years. Absolutely heartbreaking for the families and the team. I imagine they are going to throw the book at the driver
