The two occupants died. There must have been a lot of speed involved.

Bllody hell, how horrific.   :(   Definitely not something I would entertain doing in my 156 sportwagon.  It only goes to show that irrespective of all the safety systems in modern cars, that nothing probably can save your life if you are going so fast and hit a hard non moveable object like a power pole.  Scary indeed.
