It was an early build car with a date of 11/07. I would definetly say that car was toast. No front end left on it.
But in defense i would say the tridion cell did its job , almost no damage in the footrest area.

The car looks like toast, but the shell and the interior look pretty well unscathed. Lets hope the occupants survived this one. Then again, head on wrecks are usually pretty bad to begin with.

Does anyone know if the B frame pillar (passenger side) was cut with Jaws of Life or was that a fracture?

From what I remember from the original thread it was cut with the jaws... IIRC the tridion was intact completely.
