Looks bad, but not TOO bad, as I don't see the passenger compartment being breached in the collision - that's when it's BAD - bet he had a lot of non secured "stuff" in the passenger compartment to fly around (maybe even himself) if he needed first aid/transport
I think I've mentioned that the reason I got into "first aid" was my parent lived about 75 yds off an intersection that tended to have 2-3 fairly severe MVAs/week (basic problem - the stop sign was on the Ave, not the Street - and in this area, stop signs are almost always on the Street - so folks wold cruise down the Ave at 30mph, and never SEE the stop sign. Made for some bad ones. The one that REALLY made me say "You need serious first aid materials) was the one where the sway bar of the truck came through the floor of the car he hit, and went into the calf, and out the kneecap of the driver of the car (shudder just remembering that sight) - I was about 13 and a Boy Scout at the time - did my best to prevent him from bleeding out while waiting for the cops. I understand he lived, nit sure if he kept the leg or not - it din't through the knee joint - but along side it - did take part of the patella.
BTW after almost 10 years of protests asking for a traffic light, and something like 3 traffic studies, they decided we needed the light the week we had 10 MVAs, 2 with fatalities, in one 7 day period, all in good weather. Since the light went up, I could only remember 1 accident in the like 8 years I lived there, and Mom/Dad said they became extremely rare
