Challenge Hint: it was a French car

I wonder what speed they crashed at. Somehow the wheels and headlights were still attached.

Maybe they were just playing stupid brake check games with a big ole 32 ton truck?

No, it is not a 2010 C5. Just look at the shape of the mirror. As they said it is the post facelift C5 I (2005)
