Obviously that's a massive impact, but for such a big vehicle going at over 100kph, that seems a lot smaller than I'd expect.
Also, isn't that a betting shop as opposed to a cafe? Granted, kind of irrelevant to the story, but seems an odd term to use (maybe Italian betting shops have full on coffee setups, I may just be ignorant here!)

The speed does seem unlikely. The driver crashed against and took out a bit of wall, but it seems unlikely that this alone would have stopped the car. Glad no-one seems to have been seriously injured.
