People need to stop wrecking these things! Hopefully the owner isn't dumb enough to drive it in the snow......

At the pace these cars are being wrecked, they might as well be collectors items

According to the story they didn't know if it was being driven in the snow.
Another picture. Notice the rollback in front of it.

I'm guessing that the force required to push snow so far up the front end that it was coming out of the hood vent would indicate it hit a pile of snow at a pretty decent rate of speed.

Also the airbags were deployed and that won't happen to a car not being driven or at least running.

So my assessment is that it was driven and poorly for the conditions.

Maybe they just hit a snowman crossing the road.

That big black mark on the right front looks like a tire mark like they get in NASCAR from rubbing another car. So I think another vehicle was also involved.
