Westbound Pontiac Bonnevile driven by 34 year old male collided with an eastbound 1999 Dodge Durango, witness told police it appeared the Pontiac began to skid on rain-slickened pavement as it rounded a curve and hit the Dodge Durango head on. Passenger from Bonneville was transported by Air Ambulance to Tupelo hospital, all others were transported to Corinth hospital. All occupants were restrained and both vehicles had dual air bags.

i think the bonneville got the worst of it...the front end is so demolished that its hard to tell if its an 87-91 or a 92-99!
i'm guessing the latter though....

As seen, the front ends are designed to crush and absorb the bulk of the impact, limiting the damage to the passenger compartment and those inside.

Anyone know if that was a designed crumple zone in the roof of the Durango? If so its not in the best place IMHO.
