I would not rule out some NU prior to impact with the downslope, perhaps due some lift from the wings. With tail impact, the nose would have dropped with force, and rebounded, perhaps allowing the front of the aircraft to 'hurdle' up and plant the fuselage pointing upward, rather than collapsing at impact directly into the roadway.

All guesses, but the general discussion is a good one.
