Re: OUCH!
the wire wheel with that skinny hub in the first photo looks like a motor cycle wheel, with a bit of tubular fork still attached. Motor cyclists invariably come off worse in any collision.

Re: OUCH!
That must have been a very strong and heavy cycle. Maybe they veered off the road and hit a tree or something. Whatever it was the front axle is almost under the hogs head. The fender is bent and the glass is out of the windows!

Re: OUCH!
The motorcycle is still under the center door.
The steering wheel is on the left.
The T is on the left side of the road.
Drawl your own conclusions as to fault.

Re: OUCH!
That is some ugly damage either way - the only question was if between the bike being mashed by the centerdoor pretty much straight on and the "guillotine glass" in the car, that was one ugly wreck.
My bike (21 FD Harley) has what looks like the same front end, were it not for the electric headlight I could suspect it being the same bike from the repairs that were made to it sometime in its past.

Re: OUCH!
I wonder if the cyclist might have gone through the windshield? Rather nasty regardless. My first hope when I see something like this is that the cyclist jumped, fell, or was thrown from the motorcycle and only slightly banged up survived to ride again. From the severe damage and missing glass in the car that doesn't look too likely.
There are several other nicer photos in this group. I sure like the model N Ford, and the couple of 1914 touring cars. Two of the later cars have tire covers on the spares. A couple of coupes round the group out nicely.
As always, thank you Tom R!

Re: OUCH!
The road appears to be dry.
The tires are in OK shape.
The sun is shining from the direction that the car is pointed.
The sun is also slightly shining in the right side of the vehicle, tree shadows concurring.
Hopefully, the people / bodies are removed.
Assuming northern hemisphere, the T is most likely facing East.
Unknown how much time has lapsed from accident to photography but I'll go out on a limb and suggest that a low morning sun had something to do with this ouch.
