How Good Is The MINI In A Head-on Crash?

This story comes out of San Diego on NBC San Diego.  First look at the vehicle - the engine bay, bonnet - all crushed to the front axle.  The airbags are exploded , mirrors and front wheels twisted.  Yet, neither the driver or passenger sustained any life-threatening injuries.  In fact, the driver took off on foot after destroying the woman passenger's MCS after first meeting her at a party.  The accident is classified as a "hit and run."  The driver blew through a stop sign and, 30 feet later, went head-on into a retaining wall.
