Default Vanagon vs Volvo 745

i just found this. how can this be. http://www.vanagon.com/info/safety/v...ash/index.html
I have a Vanagon it only weighs 3150 LBS I would think that the 745 is close to it in weight. The vanagon is unibody,rear engine vehicle so why would it cut thru the volvo so easily. could you imagine one of the monster suvs. just seems very strange to me.

"The Caravelle (Vanagon) climbed on top of the Volvo and cut into the cabin"

The " A" pillar isn't designed to nor is it massive enough to deflect a 3100 vehicle hitting it head-on.
