The car probably wasn't going anywhere close to 220 km/h to start, and would have slowed down by a significant amount from the snow before hitting the pole. Probably only 60-80 km/h max when the pole was struck.
If the car had hit the pole with any other face, there would either have have injuries or damage that would have ended the race for them - pretty lucky.
