OK my theory:

white car (see first pic) hits telephone pole.

pole falls on road, with the top just below knee level.

volvo hits pole head-on, so that the pole gets stuck somewhere below the bumper

the speed was probably just right to raise the car without flipping it over.

still, truly amazing.....

Yep, i agree, something like that must have happened.

But still, pretty weird!! Notice the 850 is not damaged very bad. It probably didn;t happen at high speed.

Why are the power lines appearing in some pics and in some they are not present. And how are those people inside a car so calm. He even has a cup in his cupholder.. :D And why there are skid marks on the road in one pic and others don't have. Don't know but I would like to see some reliable source material about this.. :P

Yeah, i saw the skidmark too. But it's possible that it came from the white car they dragged away, according in order of appearance on the last pic :o...
