I'm under the impression that "modern" cars are built so the passenger compartment is protected and the front and back absorb the force of an impact. Nevertheless, crash tests are done at 35 mph or 40 mph depending on who is doing the test. That's going into a solid wall. They apparently don't test for rollovers or an impact of two vehicles with a combined approach speed that could easily be over 100 mph. The accident in question is scary just to think about.
