Harsh to pass scoobynet judgement untill the facts are known.
What I would venture is that I've been off the road and into trees in a Mk 2 Escort at circa 50mph (when I left the road) with far less damage, and been hit side on whilst in a honda civic with an estimated impact speed of 40 mph (police accident report) and walked away (well, hobbled)
To be trapped for three hours with such horrific injuries suggests high and innapropriate speed was involved, particularly given that we know subaru's have pretty decent structural integrity, but without the facts its all speculation.
He was probably speeding (or at least driving innapropiately fast) but we all do that from time to tiime.
There's a valid point above though, bearing in mind the recent thread about the guy who totalled his nissan (200? skyline?) who was slated to bits on here and accused of all sorts when he crashed on a straight bit of road. Lets say he was 19, wearing a baseball cap and sportswear, in his own car, with lexus lights, neons and a vent to atmo dump valve. Would anyone care so much then?
Or would the thread be full of "nasty little chav deserved it for driving like a ****?" type comments.

In this, as in most cases, it meant "going too fast and over cooked it going round a corner".
This guy was, apparently, going along a straight bit of road - so it may have some element of truth to it..... may. Just. Some.
