inexperience and weather aside, that car is folded nearly in half around that tree. that takes a good bit more than 50mph to do.
you'd be surprised what momentum can do, regardless of speed. if the road and/or other surface is slippery enough, it won't provide any friction for the car to slow down. sideways at 50 mph - yeah, it could do that much damage - and more.
