ADias:
Notice the horizontal guard rail and the car squeezed under it? Is that what the guard rail looks like?
It appears that the guard rail offers no protection at the bottom, allowing low cars to wedge themselves under it. Moreover, it appears that the structure collapsed on top of the car. It appears that the guard rail is at fault.

Thats indeed how they look like Antonio, at least here in Spain, and if you think that is bad for low cars which go under the impact absorving guardrail, you should see what
that does to motorbike riders.
The riders travel over the gorund under
the guardrail like this car and the posts that hold the guardrail up act
as blades and if you hit them over 50km/h they will amputate whatever
part of the rider's body hits it. You can see the effect of the post on the car and how it "cut into" the car's chassis, imagine human tissue, its awful even at low speeds, doesn't take much. Its incredible how many damages are
caused by these assain guardrails every year here as opposed to falling were there is no guardrail. Now finally they are slowly changing them with guardrail with rounder shaped post and some with a protection bellow it (like a lower guradrail bellow the top one) that absobs the impact and offers no cutting surface.
