I’m going to postulate that the driver had a seat belt on and the deceased didn’t.

Don’t know about the driver but according to the article the passenger didn’t.

A preliminary investigation into the Manhattan crash which killed the 73-year-old also
suggested that a combination of speed, an inexperienced driver and the fact the reporter
wasn’t wearing a seatbelt could be responsible, according to police sources.

My friend’s son was killed in a similar situation, in a limo going from a wedding to the reception. Massive head injury.

As horrible as the wreckage looked, I doubt a seatbelt would have saved Simon.

BTW, remember when Gov. Jon Corzine almost got killed when his limo was speeding and got into an accident? He wasn't wearing a seatbelt, either.
