I'm sure that Toyota had to get the "unintended acceleration" squad out for this one.
Given that she launched over the planter the angle of incidence may have been outside the settings for the airbag sensors. Also the collapsing of the hardtops B pillar didn't give much initial comparative resistance to the bumper, likely the front subframe on the Lexus hooked the rocker to do most of the move to the Pontiac. Bill would be more up to date on repair costs than me, but that Lexus has probably got $10-15k damage to the front. That '40 convert took a pretty good beating too. The quarter panel damage is pretty big which means the inner structure, floor pan, and wheel house are in pretty bad shape, along with possibly some frame damage from the rear end getting whacked. Major ugly.
DUI? Probably not, but I have some Cali friends that have a three letter slur that starts with D for this one.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
