Jesus Christ!
Notice the passenger seat base has gone

I dunno, I mean the airbag didn't go off for some reason and there's a massive buckle at the top of the steering wheel, so I'm guessing the driver wasn't wearing a seatbelt and got ejected from the car, which would also explain the lack of blood dripping from everything.

It's a wreck of an XR2, but look at the last picture ("The car I hit") - still looks better than mine does ;)

Nah that'd take far too long. Fire brigades tend to just take roofs/doors off
