The article says the truck hit the Camry at speed, so I am assuming that was whatever the speed limit was there, though it doesn't indicate what that was.

If they were both at speed the truck just basically jammed th trunk under the front bumper. If that Camry was stopped it would be flattened.
Everything depends on how it happened and the circumstances. My youngest girl was in a Ford F150 as a passenger when the brakes went south(proportioning valve failure). They ended up in the back seat of a Camry. Totaled the Camry. The F150, they drove it home. Looked it over real good and didn't even have to buy touch up paint. There wasn't a scratch on the truck any where. As far as I can figure, the Camrys back bumper is lower than most pickup trucks and they went right over the Camry bumper straight into beer can thin sheet metal. ON the other side of this, the same girl drives a 2017 Limited Forerunner. At one of her seminars, a guy was leaning on the hood of her car. He did over $3,000.00 in damage to it just by leaning on the car. But then most cars are built from paper thin crap metal today to get the gas mileage....or at least that's the reason they give for such lousy construction.

Bull....anyone can go kick that truck, and cause damage to it. There's no way that it's going to hit any vehicle, regardless of it's construction, at any speed sufficient to cause it to be totalled, and not get so much as a scratch on it
There is no real info. Was the truck speed much greater. Was the truck loaded or empty? A loaded truck flatten just about any car.
