It's just one horrific accident, but the car performed as promised by Elon. Judging by the skid marks, it looks like the MS had enough control after the impact to steer out of the road and park against the guardrail. Usually cars "bounce" off of each other and you would expect to find the MS disabled in the road way. It looks like the car was drivable enough for it to be "parked" out of traffic and away from the impact scene. The hood was pushed up and the driver may not have been able to see out of the windshield after impact. That would explain why he headed over to the guardrail. It would have been a visual reference out the side window and allow him to get out of the way of a second accident.
One of the most dangerous things about a frontal impact in an ICE is the fact that the heavy motor can be pushed back through the firewall into the cabin. With the Tesla's "frunk", there is no danger of that.
