As for the Fortuner in the SCTEX accident, i think the damage to the rear was significantly bad because it appeared to have been sandwhiched between two vehicles so when the bus hit it, instead of the impact energy pushing it forward, the Fortuner remained more or less stationary as it hit the car in front and absorbed most of the impact.
