Yeowch

We passed by an accident on the way home. A small, dark-blue car had rear-ended an older red SUV at the corner of Southcenter Parkway and Strander Blvd. Nobody goes through there fast, it's one of the major choke-points between the shopping center and the freeway.

Major damage like that seems impossible. How much you want to bet either alcohol (at noon!?) or a cell phone was involved?

...looks like a low-speed impact to me, just combined with what you said: Small car (so low to the ground) versus older SUV (so high off the ground) so the SUV's bumper went right into the edge between the hood and headlights. Seen it a dozen times in California, only thing that'd make it noticably worse would be if the SUV had a tow-ball attached at the time.
