everyone survived

According to Volvo, everyone survived.

"All occupants suffered minor or more serious injuries but everyone survived and both cars' crash-protection systems functioned correctly."

"The accident took place on a highway without a central divider, in Göteborg in autumn 2009. The speed limit on this stretch of road was 70 km/h. Both cars were travelling at about 60 km/h at the moment of impact. One car was a Volvo V70, model year 2009. The second car was a Volvo V70, model year 1997."
