One also has the impression that the terrain with the bushes is slightly elevated, the aircraft might have briefly bounced up as it went through.
Sorry, I don't buy that - a 50' wingspan aircraft didn't plough through those trees/bushes.

Plus the access road that runs immediately behind and parallel to them has cars/vans parked on both sides, all of which appear intact.

But I suspect you're right in that we're looking at an aircraft that became airborne again briefly, and the small area that the wreckage covers would suggest that it impacted the ground with relatively little horizontal speed.
