A 17-year-old girl was killed in an East Side crash yesterday, three days after she graduated from high school, police and relatives said.
Julie Tsang was a passenger in a Honda Civic that was struck by a pickup truck on Park Avenue at East 65th Street.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The truck driver, Robert Gomez, 22, of Garfield, NJ, was charged with criminally negligent homicide and DWI. Sources said he refused a breath test but reeked of alcohol.
Kevin Chang, 22, who was driving the Honda, was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital. He was listed in critical but stable condition.
Friends and relatives said Tsang was planning to go to Hunter College to study nursing.
