Saw a Prius after a head-on collision

Near Bakersfield CA on a 2-lane hwy.
3450 lb Honda Accord vs 3000 lb Toyota Prius.
The Accord was passing a truck and hit the Prius head -on.
Everyone in the Honda was killed.

In the Prius, the inertia of the battery pack seemed to propel the back of the car into the front section. The windshield was vertical. There was almost no room for the driver and passenger left. They were also killed.

The photo below is of another Prius head-on accident where the driver was also killed. The roof was cut off to get to the driver.
