There's almost nothing left of the Volt. The Camry hit it so fast, that it bounced over the top and also hit the garage behind it. [Edited by: Eugene_C at 6/19/2012 10:05:17 AM EST]

The volt was parked & turned off. How much gas was in the Volt's tiny gas tank? Where did the Camry hit the Volt? These are viable questions....
