Terrible accident for all involved.
The girls should not have been on the road with this thing. Now they're both dead, and the driver of the truck will be forever traumatized knowing she hit and killed them. Even though she's not at fault I'm sure that's a guilt she's going to carry with her always.
Neither child was wearing a helmet according to the video at link.

Two children, ages 9 and 12, were killed when the minibike they were riding crashed into a pickup truck in Polk County on Sunday, according to the sheriff's office.
The wreck happened in the area of Connersville Road and Wellington Place at about 4:15 p.m.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said 12-year-old Charisma Vega and her sister, 9-year-old Kiara were riding a minibike on Wellington Place and crossed Connersville where they were struck by a black 2019 Chevy Z71. Judd said the driver of the truck did not see the girls before she hit them and immediately stopped after hearing a noise.
"These two little girls were just out on a Sunday afternoon, having fun, but riding a minibike that is not certified for the road," Judd said. "This is the kind of toy that should have been operated in an open field, on a dirt field and not on a highway."
