What is left of Ryan's truck

I would like to start out saying God watched out over my son, it is a miracle that he walked away with only 2 scratched knees, couple small burns from air bag deploying and soreness. His truck bed shifted forward kinda off the frame - What you cannot see in this picture is the broken windshield with the indent of my son's head :(
The Lincoln looks worse. The easiest way to describe it would be - had he hit the front passenger door - his bumper would've been touching the driver - BUT he hit the back passenger door - it actually pushed the "car" off the frame. We've been unable to get anymore information about the man in the car, at the hospital we heard he had some broken ribs - please keep praying for him, but we don't know his name, it is on the police report which isn't ready. The man driving the Lincoln was ticketed.
So here's what happened:
My son was driving east on a very busy 6 lane highway (3 east/3west) - speed limit is 45 - the man was coming west and had pulled into the turning lane to go south into his development - he did not see my son's truck and turned smack dab in front of him - Ryan tried to stop, it was lightly raining, but even in the best conditions there is no way he could've stopped his truck even going 25.
Accidents happen - sometimes there is just no way to avoid it -
