Oh :-(. Just saw this message. Bob, please pass your brother our best
wishes of speedy and complete recovery. Let's hope that the hit wasn't
strong enough to cause your brother any serious or permanent damage...

My younger brother spent Thursday night in hospital after someone drove into
his car at 45 mph (~72kph). The car rolled and my brother was trapped
inside, and had to be cut free by the fire brigade. They strapped him to a
stretcher ("like Hannibal Lecter"), took him in for an examination, then let
him out a few hours later, more or less intact.
Here are some pictures he took of the car, which is a write-off - it doesn't
look at all as though it's been hit at that speed, or rolled. The car has
more airbags than Dolly Parton, yet none of them deployed. When he asked
about it he was told that the car wasn't hit hard enough. Yet it's a
write-off. Amazing how strong these things are these days - it probably
saved his life.

Here's a very uninformative press report about it:
