I'm not familiar with the exact circumstances here however, even with a seatbelt and a fairly intact cabin, occupants can die. This type of fatality is caused by sudden deceleration, i.e. internal organs moving against your skeleton. This is a further reason why modern cars feature crumple zones, serving to raise deceleration time by precious milliseconds however the benefit obviously dimishes with vehicle speed.
