I mean it was a fairly new SUV. The truck, in snow, was going maybe 40 - 50 mph? The car maybe 20 - 30 mph?
I've seen some pretty horrific accidents in my time, and also some post-accident wreckage, but nothing like that.
Unless I am mistaken, or it was the absolute 1% chance of the truck hitting the SUV in exactly the right spot at the right moment, how did it end up like that?
I've seen direct head on collisions before with better results.

Really? The legal weight for an eighteen wheeler is 80000 lbs. [40 tons] travelling at approx 60-70 miles an hour? Newtons second law F=m*a
Its actually very easy to solve for the sheer forces involved never mind the video evidence of it..so Im confused by your post
