Reason:
1) In the second pic, the drivers side headrest seems to have many traces of blood. If there was a driver....wouldnt his head cover some of the cushion as he gets the stains on his face?
2) Third pic just looks too fake IMO

Well, I have seen many things on our streets... And I can tell you, if something like this happens... you duck! Or at least take your head to the left side, so it is possible...
And: The car is in a garage... and it got towed by a tow truck!!

OK - this reminds me of a story
In the US they were testing airplane windows against bird impacts and came up with a gun that shoots chicken bought from a spuermarket at 200+mph
Britain wanted to borrow the gun to test their airplane windows and went to the supermarket and bought some chickens
However they found that everytime they fired a chicken at one of their plane windows, the window would shatter - so they wrote to the US and asked how they made glass that was not destroyed by the impact
The reply was - defrost the chickens first
