The 22-year-old driver of the Charger appears to have been attempting a right hand turn from the center lane onto Bryant Avenue.
The vehicles collided, sending the Honda Accord, traveling in the right lane, into a utility pole.
The 50-year-old driver of the Accord was not injured. He is a relative of the two girls, who were taken to Staten Island University Hospital in serious condition.
