Wow, I haven't seen that photo. It is a head-scratcher.

one thing though, is the inside of those limos are a long bench-seat down the length of the truck, so there is nothing to stop the occupants in the back from continuing all the way to the front in a crash. So, if the limo blasted through the parked car and then stopped abruptly into a dirt berm outside of the parking lot, all the occupants would be hurdled straight to the front at nearly full speed. Thinking about it this way, I can see the multiple fatalities. And the pedestrians... that is sad... sometimes it is just your time I guess.
