I remember auto accidents with those cars when they "were" new or fairly new. The cabins crumpled as bad as the one in the video. Even up to the '90s pickup trucks were horrible in crash tests. A collision with a Fiesta would favor the pickup truck it would surprise you how bad even a small car could crumple the cab of a full size pickup. They have weight carrying and towing capacity but up until recently, safety in a crash wasn't too good.

Watch to the end for the pickup driver's legs and feet. Notice the Civic didn't sail off toward the horizon like a ping pong ball either.
