Too telling quotes from the article:

"Police said the Sunbird driver, identified only as a 17-year-old, could also be charged because he stopped in mid-turn while trying to cross traffic."

This might not be the simple 'evil street racers' story.

But most important of all:

"[the victim] was not wearing a seat belt"
Ahem.

Please remember that even Princess Di would have survived if she was wearing a seatbelt.
