The only thing that makes me think it's totalled is that flat tire. Why would a tire be flat for a collision with a door? There may be damage up in the wheel well we can't see?

I think because the damage can be seen going all the way up to the wheel well, it's likely the car struck the wheel/tire as well. The rear quarter, door, and fender all show damage, and virtually any car on the road is plenty bigger than ours even in profile, so it wouldn't surprise me if she hit his wheel as well. Hits to the side unfortunately don't often turn out well. When you bend a car that way, especially one built with materials as light as ours is, it's tough to bend them back and have them be the same.
