Since those speeds are too close to do that damage otherwise, I assume they were moving at those speeds in opposite DIRECTIONS.

This is what happens when a power pole is going 0 and the truck is going 45:

But I suspect the one in your photo is.

I hope it is yeah I was leaving to go to work I drive a truck otr and about 330 Monday morning I just getting up to speed very light traffic and saw him go by not thinking much other he hauling *** in a 45 speed zone and nxt thing I see is something black coming at me very fast and by the time I went to react it was done within a blink of a eye I was doing roughly 35-40 mph no seatbelt on guy nvr stopped I think God it didn’t bounce sooner then it did or else I might not be here today. As far as rebuilding it I’m gonna try to didn’t look like my frame was damaged atleast that I could see but it pushed my finders out bent my hood just a lil not too bad pushed my core support in destroyed my radiator might of damaged my fan idk yet and everything else so won’t no too much till this weekend when I come home for new years

As long as the crumple zones on the frame aren't compromised, you should be able to rebuild it. Of course you wont be able to properly assess the damage until the front clip is removed.
