If you look closely that was not a head on collision. It was a offset collision.  
Im not sure what speed that was at but it makes a major difference.  
Only the left half of the structure is absorbing the entire impact.  
Many NHTSA tests are dont at 35mph but I cant say for sure on this one.  
Either way the cabin didnt fold too bad. All that matters is the condition of the occupants. The vehicle can look like a crumpled piece of aluminum foil but it might have done its job by absorbing most of the crash energy.
