Whoa that is massive damage, down right scary pic.

With that tape across the steering wheel does that mean that the air bag has gone off? It just doesn't look like it has to me, but then I haven't actually seen one that has.

Not much to salvage on that car though!

The tape is to warn people there is an undemployed/unstable airbag in the car and to take precautions when stuffing around in it.

They started doing that because of all the stories going around about undeployed airbags going around, and all these people apparently being killed or injured when they went off randomly.

The boot carpet looks okay still!

As bad as it looks, I reckon the only person who may have been seriously injured is the left rear passenger. It certainly says a bit about the strength and design of the E-Series. 3 of the doors look untouched.

My guess on the cause is that it was hit by a semi doing 100 on a highway while the EL was almost stationary.

Sickening pics at first look though....
