Sorry, missed that. It's hard to keep track of chronology of events. Do you still have the oil pan and the crushed rubber piece on the bottom? Take a closer look at those parts and see if it could have caused oil starvation.
WHunter says the car was going 70 mph for a mile before it stalled. Is that true? Wouldn't running with low or no oil pressure for that long at high rpm cause more than one "spun bearing".
I don't suppose Brad looked at the oil pressure gauge after the impact? Maybe worth asking him.
Also ask him when the engine did not re-start after it stalled, whether the engine turned laboriously or did not turn at all. This may indicate the severity of the seizure at the time.
