The "whatever that was" was the FR-S, which was torn in half when it hit a telephone pole. There's only one car shown in that video. It's confusing because there's a shot of it from behind, where you can't tell what it is, then a side shot of the same car where you can see that it's an FR-S with the back half ripped off.

The two cars collided, which apparently didn't cause a whole lot of damage. But then the FR-S hit the telephone pole, which cut it in half. That's when the guy was ejected.

The other driver drove away. You don't see his car in the video.

Now we can debate whether the FR-S driver would have survived inside that, but he had a better chance of surviving while strapped into that seat than after flying through the air and impacting the ground or other solid, immovable object with his own body.
