I think the SUV occupants would have fared much worse had the Civic slammed into the side of their vehicle.
The Civic sits low and might not have made contact with the frame of the SUV. The Civic no doubt would have crushed like a tin can, but I still think the SUV passenger would have died.
Side impacts are bad no matter what you are diving.
Even a semi driver is in a bad position in a side impact ( the fuel tanks are just below the door ! )
What happened to the links on page one ? They are all dead.
