YEah whatever intruded on the red IS bent the steering wheel back. and obviously the drivers head/body is above the top of the steering wheel. it also bent the drivers seat back. i doubt he escaped. note the biohazard sticker

they also didnt bother cutting the drivers side apart which probably means they didnt even bother performing an emergency extrication.

never forget how fragile cars are, and how fragile we are. i think people assume cars are tanks and they can survive anything. the "frame" that surrounds you is just really thin sheet metal folded up. it'll peel like paper if it meets the right object.

pretty sure it's bent back. the steering wheel is bent, and the roof is bent back to the back seat. plus the car has a biohazard sticker. that means blood.

If I had to guess, the car was unoccupied. The biohazard could be from sewage in a flooding incident. I gauge my guess upon the seatbelts. The rectractors for the seat belts weren’t blown, the drivers/passenger belt is in the upright position with little slack and seats are still in a reclined cruising positions, In most severe accidents those retractors will blow, even if the airbags don’t in certain situations. Too, none of the airbags popped with the impact further makes me think sewage/flood, although a roof crush won’t cause the proper trigger, some times just impact to the vehicle can also deploy the airbags. If it were submerged, there wouldn’t be power to deploy. Either way though, I’d hope nobody was injured or died in the said vehicles, but this is a possibility.
