Remember, when there's 2 vehicles involved, there are two crumple zones. A vehicle hitting a rigid barier at "X" speed is the same as two identical vehicles colliding head on at "X" speed, times two.

Interesting collision -- it looks like a BMW 3 series and perhaps a Dodge Stratus? This is an interesting case, with the "wedge" action (resulting in an offset-type collision). The crumple zones did their job and it looks like both vehicles took the impact well -- all parties were OK. The speed of both vehicles had to be at least 45 by the looks of it.
