The driver survived. Most people when they get into a taxi or limo sit on the passenger side. The initial photos that were released shortly after the accident showed the passenger side was relatively intact, with the roof cut off. The photos with everything thrown back into the car, along with the police tape, are from long after the fact and are not indicative of how the car looked in the immediate aftermath. When they have to cut people out of a car, it can pretty much destroy the entire interior. And as ucb points out, both sides of the car look relatively intact. Of course, there’s no guarantee that he would have survived the crash had he been wearing the seatbelt. However, the chances are always going to be better if you buckle up.
