The front end of the truck is impressively smashed. It must have been going quite fast?

There isn’t anything in the front that is rigid so it’s designed to crumple like that to absorb the energy maximally.

I think if a car with an engine had it, the pole would have knocked over rather than any sort of t-bone.

If the car had a driver in it the pole wouldn't have even been knocked over.
