Looking at his smashed windshield - it appears to me that somebody tried to attack his vehicle after a first accident (a bus driver?) with a stick of sort...since the driver had a broken windshield - he could not see anything and he was mad scared - thats why he drove into other 2 cars. Just my vision of this story.
Its on tape what ever the case. NSA has probably had a couple of chuckles over the driver running off.
The accident was slightly irregular, but I don't think it's "deeply interesting" to hackers. Did upvoters mistakenly presume this was a self-driving car?
Looks like the driver got scared and tried to run away. I think the media is making a bigger deal of this than they should.
