Yes, I wonder if the front end "crumpled" or merely fell apart. Was there a front end impact?

Exactly my question: what did it hit? It's sitting in a flat dirt field. Maybe it nose-dived into the ground? But I didn't even really see evidence of that from the photos.

Is it my brain playing games or do I really see misplaced tire tracks on Google Maps?

Looks to me like it tumbled end over end, the front probably took the brunt of the impact and the rear took at least one hit.
