That is really horrible -- it is good the kids have counselors to work with them, though. One of the most important factors in successfully dealing w/ a death is having one's feelings validated througout the grieving process (anger, sadness, etc).
I was taught in driver's ed to NEVER swerve to hit a deer or large animal, but to speed up and hit it straight on... it is the only way to survive. Unfortunately, instinct tells us to do the opposite.
My prayers are with the family and friend of the daughter killed...
Maybe you could send the family over a few cards and gifts (meals? baked goods?) over the next 6 mo. to 1 year. Most ppl stop sending thems after a few months, but families are usually seriously grieving for two years...
Best,
