Is this divergent hip dislocation

This radiograph was shared with me  by a colleague. Rt anterior dislocation and Lt posterior fracture dislocation in an RTA.  I have never seen this kind of an  injury before. Apparently he was thrown  off a  moving vehicle and succumbed to his
injuries before orthopaedic intervention..  The direction and magnitude of force  and position of limb at the point of impact determines the injury. The dash board injury and the boat injury combined as described historically
