That's an incredible hit, and as said before, pole hits are nasty.  Best
wishes to your son's speedy recovery!

  Below is the link to pictures of my Son's SHO after a HARD tree hit. This is
the second SHO he has broken, the first was a 60 MPH Angus Bull hit which he
sustained no more than a face full of cow shit, although the car was totaled
and the bull was thrown 25 feet.

  In this case, he suffered a shattered leg and remains hospitalized. The
pictures really don't show the damage as clearly as I'd hoped they would. For
instance it doesn't show the engine where it came through the firewall and
crushed his leg. It also doesn't sho the front impact where the SHO went up
the tree at a 45 degree angle. He was removed from the car through the left
rear passenger window. The right door was ripped off at impact. The headlights
were ripped from the header panel and were found 50 feet away. The front of
the sub frame is pushed back about 1 foot to the rear of the firewall. The
intake is visible on the floor in the front seat. The rear seat has a huge
bulge in it where his tool box in the trunk came forward on impact.

  This was an extremely hard hit.
