Cars these days are meant to absorb the impact to protect the driver.
If the impact had been at a much higher speed, the damage would have been way worse than a simple bumper, hood, headlight and pushed back radiator.

Agreed, that is not a high speed impact. It looks very much like they rear-ended an SUV. |
Agree with this as well. Given the way the front crumple zones are designed lately, could very well be a 20-30 mph impact. (Sorry all you M owners, but this car probably wasn't chasing after you).
But boy does it hurt, hopefully the driver is okay, no frame damage, and she gets fixed right up.
