Based on all that I have read, this photo is deceptive insofar as it begs the inference that the terrible damage to the MB was caused by the impact.
But among the "earliest" images of the crash scene are views of the car with its passenger compartment intact.
Further, it was stated that the hand-held apparatus known colloquially as the "jaws of life" was required to remove Princess Diana from the wreckage. But again there are images extant showing an open rear door and an intact roof.
The "jaws" may have been necessary to extricate survivor Trevor Rees-Jones and access the bodies of Henri Paul and Dodi al Fayed.
The bottom line: The cover story is best served by images of an MB that suffered the sort of damage visible in the photo above.
