I'm sure a higher speed, if they were in one, could contribute to the extent of the crash - but it appears that the impact would've caused an instant explosion of the car either way.

I'm not capable of judging the situation as 'stupid' or not bc I didn't see it nor do I know all the contributing factors, but I do know it's tragic to lose a family member, no matter how they go. For all we know, maybe they were going 30mph. Regardless though, a loss is tragic for those close to them.
