The police description suggests that the girls were legally crossing the street.
Quote:
The pedestrians, both young ladies in their mid-teens were
walking northbound across 17 Ave SW from the west corner of
Collegiate Lane. Several vehicles had stopped but as they
neared the north side of the avenue they were struck by a
white Honda that was being driven westbound on 17 Ave SW.

Based on the description, I am going to guess that some clown ignored the fact that traffic was stopped for two people crossing the street, and blew through the intersection without looking to see if anyone was crossing.
