And indeed the fire left it a rubble but the wheels were still attached to that car and the tub looked to be relatively whole, the occupants still strapped in. I said it from the start, the impact did not kill both of those guys, this was a survivable crash for at least one of the guys. The one who didn't take the brunt of the light pole impact the door side.
I don't believe the 100mph thing either. 45 is closer.

At 100+ that car would have continued into those shops!
