This picture is the car, a 1990 Mazda Protege, that I was driving. It was 7 months-old. You can see the trunk and license plate that were separated from the rest of the car during the time it was trapped under the truck. The roof was cut off with the Jaws-of-Life and folded back to get me out of the driver's seat. My 10 year-old daughter was in the front passenger seat and ended up in the floor. She had multiple cuts on her scalp but no serious injuries.
