The car does hardly look damaged?

Another crash where the photo doesn’t entirely explain the outcome.

The car has clearly hit the divider fairly straight on. But the damage doesn’t look that catastrophic. Yes, it’s concertinaed somewhat. The airbag has gone off. But it doesn’t look like a huge amount of speed, or energy. 30mph or less?
Quite likely he wasn’t wearing a seat belt, though.

What I am thinking, but the window still seems to be in place. But yes, very likely he did not wear a seatbelt.
