The red one looks like the damage done when being stacked or a very strange
roll or possibly a top hit from going under something.  Definitely not a
front end accident.  The white one at the bottom has all the standard
markings of having left the paved surface in an uncontrolled course.  I know
from harsh experience many year ago what happens when soft mud hits even the
heavy steal of a studebaker champion.  Destruction is massive.

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
