From an older article, but NHTSA does the side tests at with a 3,015-pound car traveling at 38.5 mph (62km/h). IIHS uses 3,300 pounds higher up (like a truck) but no mention of speed. According to wikipedia NCAP does it at 50km/h.

I would think the only hope of minor injuries when tboned at that speed is to have a vehicle much taller or much heavier than whatever is hitting you. Even then I'd think you'd need to be in a bus or something.
