warning: graphic description.
Having seen the results of a very high-speed collision in the early 90s, my guess is that the damage to the victims was severe enough to allow cleaning of the interior with a hose. It's basically the same thing that happens to a bug on your windshield. There are a few larger pieces, but the majority is reduced to red jelly.
The incident I'm referring to was a head-on collision between a drunk driver going 100+ m.p.h. in a T-bird and a couple in a Nissan or some such. He hit the couple (and their dog) head on and pushed them back into a big oak tree. The engine block of the T-bird was in the front seat of the Nissan. The paramedics found the male victim, who was obliterated from the torso down. However, they didn't know there was a female victim until an hour or two later, when one of the cops saw a couple strands of long blond hair poking from the place where the dashboard had met the (back) seat.
People should be more careful in their cars. You get a really false sense of security from things like seatbelts and doors and such. Your body isn't made for impact with things harder than you.
