What you have there is a 2000 Accord V6, flipped off the end of a highway exit ramp at 110 MPH, and into a Camaro dealership. Directly from the words of a witness, posting to a web forum:
"The dealership Capitol Cheverolet is adjacent with the exit right off the access road. He trys to correct the oversteer and loses control sliding into the ditch which curves upward(grass not concrete) and lauches the accord high enough to take out the power cables and land in the car lot. This was some $hit you see in the movies. My roommate and I could see the whole bottom of the car while in the air and as it clips the power cable sparks fly everywhere. Whe pull over to the side and run to their aid, I was calling 911 and when we get to the car 2 of the 3 passengers are out of the car in shock. We couldn't get the driver out who was unconcious at the time and when EMS arrived with the Fire Dprt. they aided the driver with the jaws of life and the two guys who made it out on their own.
"They were all released this morning w/minor bumps and bruises(some lacerations & abrassives). These individuals are very fortunate and blessed. I won't tell you don't drive fast anywhere just be ready to take on full responsibility for whatever the consequence."

But the condition of the passenger area is what you would hope: airbags gone off, otherwise almost entirely intact. 13 Camaros were damaged in the incident.
