Frightening Jim!! Glad your around to post. Fortunate I suspect, the impact appears forward of the axle. Limited 'crumple zone'. Sadly, that looked like a nice car.

Thanks, indeed, no person was hurt (despite my not having my seatbelt on). The car, sadly, was DOA. Fortunately, Hagerty insurance was great.
