Standard accident here then..

Car A travelling too fast, whilst Car B pulls out from a side road without due care and attention. 

Did I miss anything ?

No not really, the road is racing track where drivers very often travel beyond the legal speed limit without any thought of anybody else. But then again, since there are no police around anyway, it's an accident waiting to happen.

Yes. Front seat passenger (deceased) not wearing seat belt?

The end result of Car B pulling out in front of Car A has many connotations.

Sedan passenger dead, I wonder if they were wearing a seat belt, I don't normally comment on that but seems a bit strange that the driver with a steering wheel in front of him gets injured but the passenger with free space is killed?

That explains the incident - the 'elite' driver of the BMW owns the road and is therefore allowed to drive with impunity.

Perhaps the passenger side air bag was disengaged, perhaps the driver wore a seat belt whilst the passenger didn't.
