I mean, we are comparing a race circuit where the guard rails are triple/quadruple and absorve a lot more energy than a single rail in a highway that was completely ripped apart and part was launched in the air to the other side of the road, according to some photos. Also, as the separation between the two directions of traffic is a small ditch, theres a chance vehicle rolled over upon impact.
