I have been on a few aviation accident investigation/boards. As you know, the physics of crashes, the how and why, are unique to each event.
I have seen wrecks where the aircraft came apart around the crew and they all lived, when the wreckage would have suggested otherwise. I have also seen relatively intact aircraft that has the crash unfolded, subjected the aircrew to life ending forces.
This one looks like the unfortunate merge of tonnage, speed and angle of collision, a broadside in the weakest part of the SUV against the front of a semi.
Bless them all, especially the driver of the semi...he has a lot on his mind.
Edit:
The first time I watched it my eyes immediately looked up and left and I saw the semi...I always preach to my kids to look ahead, as far as you can whenever you can when driving.
Regardless, I have been run off the road in icy conditions and the dance is macabre, endless in the mind, seconds in reality and once it begins, impossible to correct in certain circumstances.
