it looks like the floorpan hit the tree first, that accident went very very wrong before the tree got involved
I blame the performance air filter
Someone is going to have to notify their insurers about the bodywork modifications:>)

God - you can just hear the distant echoes of the driver saying "Watch this..." just before the ouch moment!! Do hope it was a right hooker without a passenger though.
There's only one Wally Dog....
Looking at the extent of the damage i would say neither driver or passengers survived. You can clearly see that the tree didn't move and the car was peeled away from it. If i had to guess i would say it hit that tree at about 70mph, not quite hard enough to rip the car apart....testament to the strength of the Volvo chassis. It is a V70R classic too!

Lee, unless you happen to be a trained Police accident investigator with years of experience, I doubt you could assess the speed of the car when it hit the tree. Plus how do you even know there were passengers in it, the car could have simply contained the driver and I wouldn't expect any car of this size to rip apart, Volvo or otherwise.

I never said there was any passengers, i was simply saying that if there was then i doubt very much that they would have survived, do you??
I don't have to be a Police crash investigator to know that the car didn't hit the tree at 20mph, it think that the state of the car clearly makes that obvious, don't you? whether it was 70, 80, 90+ fact is, the car was obviously driving very fast and 70 is a good average. I'm not stating it hit at 70, just using the speed as a good example considering the extent of the damage. Besides, how do you know at what speed the car would have, or might have ripped in half? If the driver was doing 150mph on impact then i think it's fair to say that the car would be practically unrecognisable due to the fact that it would be in a lot more pieces than shown and scattered over a vast area.
When my Dad rolled his work van years ago, he was only doing 65mph and he swerved to miss stationary traffic on the M25. He went up the embankment and rolled the van in a field. The engine excited the van and finished up 150m further away than where the van came to rest! Miraculously my Dad was ok (bruised etc) but lucky to be alive. There was 4 other vehicles involved and ALL of them piled into each other, my Dad escaped as two of the the other people were seriously injured. Having had a couple of accidents myself in my driving career and seen many different types of rtc myself doing the job i do, i think it's a fair assesment and i'm not saying it's accurate at all, just a pretty good judge of what i can see, that's all.

I think the driver should get the tracking checked.......
