Point of impact was just under where the hood latches causing the hood to buckle up, doing damage to both front quarter panels, broke radiator and pushed it back into the engine, broke air compressor, both head lights, and caused 'cracking' in the windshield. Not sure of speed at time of impact but speed of car before impact was around 45 MPH, driver hit brakes hard but not enough distance to stop - there were skid marks about 2 feet in length.
