That caused a lot of damage to the side profile. Looking closely, one observes that while the side section is totalled, there doesn’t seem to be a direct collision with the front fascia. That is where the sensors are positioned, which could explain why the airbags weren’t deployed. Talking about the disappearance of the side panels, it looks like they had to be removed using metal cutters to get the passengers out. Interestingly, no one got seriously injured, which is a testament to the build quality of the SUV.
