We need a pic of the rear of the Acura to really understand what happened to it. Not much help from the 2 pics shown, although I see some brown-colored fluid (possibly motor oil?) leaking near the driver's side headlight

What are the headlights (or DRL's) still doing on if those are engine fluids running out next to them? Common sense would dictate shutting down everything electrical after a mishap like this. That could cause a fire if the fluids hit exposed wires or soaked through the wire insulation.

I dont know if you've ever been in an accident, but when you are in one... usually common sense flies right out the window. usually you are worried about saving your ***, not making sure that the engine is off to spare the main bearings, turn off the lights to save the battery, and take off your shoes to worry about getting the interior dirty. I think that the lights would be the last thing on the drivers mind... Use the common sense your talking about there...
