Waiting to see if the guy will respond an verify the vin but I'm 97% it's the car. There weren't many blue ones around on those hellcat wheels.
Looks like he may have rear ended a tractor trailer... maybe @HotRodPC would have a better insight.

That what I was thinking at first but it didn't get into the doors from the pics. I'm guessing lost it on the interstate into the wall. Probably never know though...

I'd have to go with NO, it didn't rear end a semi trailer. I mean, sure it could have, but it certainly didn't go under a DOT safety drop on the back of a semi trailer. The impact alone just to break the DOT drop safe bumper would have been enough collision to see damage on at least the front doors, and if it did break the DOT drop safe bumper and folded it under the truck, then the hood and fenders would be crushed on top of the engine and tires and the windshield pillars would be buckled.

Yeah, looks more like a basic frontal impact to me. Doesn't look like alot of downward/top trauma on the structure. Maybe just hit a fullsize truck or something
