PONTIAC, Mich. (FOX 2) - Two men who authorities say were street racing when they caused a fatal crash in March are facing charges.
Cameron Jack Pickett, 18, of Jackson, and Kody Scott Johnson, 19, of Waterford, were racing on March 30 on a stretch of South Boulevard in Pontiac that is known for racing.

Violent crash caught on camera after racing drivers slam into Challenger doing donuts in Pontiac intersection
Two men street racing in Pontiac slammed into a driver who was doing donuts in a stolen Dodge Challenger. The man in the Challenger was ejected and critically injured.
A 24-year-old St. Clair Shores man who wasn't wearing a seatbelt suffered critical injuries after he was ejected from the Challenger. He later died.
Now, Pickett and Johnson are charged with reckless driving causing death and drag racing.
"The death in this incident occurred because of reckless behavior and was completely avoidable," said Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald. "Drag racing is a crime, and it puts the lives of drivers, passengers, and innocent bystanders at risk. We will hold those who engage in such behavior accountable."
