Aerial video shows the Dash fuselage wreckage all together in a line along the runway centreline. The wings and engines are missing; also little sign of the fin and tailplane.

It looks to me as if, nose-high, the A350 has knocked off the Dash's fin and crushed its fuselage under its belly. The Dash's wings have made the dents in the A350's engine intakes, which might also have knocked off the outer wings. The A350's MLG have removed the Dash's inner wings and engines and dragged them down the runway. This explains the large fire under the A350 as it rolls out, and the smoke blackening visible under the A350's wings before it burns out.
