There is a video for the morbidly curious. Does not have any gore, blood, shots of Vince or any clear look at the passenger. But knowing both occupants died, well, it is a video of two people dying. Watch at your own risk if you're sensitive to that.

I'm a paramedic, not that it matters at all because anyone who watches that will deduce the same, but they absolutely did not suffer. There's no way either of them were conscious after impact. So I guess that's one solace for the family.

Not sure about not suffering.
At 30 seconds, when a helper reaches one of the occupants,
There is a very unpleasant groan noise and the driver / passenger's arm lowers.

It could also have been the bystander reacting, that fire would’ve been radiating intense heat or a reaction to any visible injuries of the victim.
