Traumatic head injury did him in. The SUV probably hit the telephone pole or some other object roof first which is why it's basically folded in half with the roof caved in the way it is.

Speed does kill. Just because your vehicle can accelerate to 90, 100 plus, doesn't mean you have any special protection in a collision or a roll over. It's practical physics.
