What 'just empty seats' mean?
Even worse is when I see no faces, no skin, just empty seats, still dented from permanantly lost limbs. When the sun comes up the next day, those decaying cars are all that is left on the side of the highway, tipped into a patch of flattened scrub.

This is about a blowout accident.
I'm not sure about the first sentence.
Does it describe a body, which lost limbs?
Then what 'just empty seats' mean in the sentence?
