doubt it, the whole leftside which is not pictured is gone and the front and rear axle its gone.
As far as the owner is concerned this is totalled.

If the frame is bent, its not really worth it to fix it because the car is going to have so many small problems after.

probably speeding...and hit the curb for those length skid marks......he may have trouble getting car paid for by insurance...they will probably try to ascertain from the police report how long those skid marks are and have an expert estimate his driving speed right before he hit the curb.

Racing on the highway

What is the speed limit on that stretch of highway?:

If you show a pic of an accident, people will be curious as to how it happened. Why show the pic if you don't want people to ask?
