It looked like he was stuck on the street and was slowly headed toward the crowd..probably nervous...then someone hit the back of his car with a pole or a bat, he panicked, hit a car ahead of them, saw that he was getting surrounded by people with bats and sticks and panicked again to get out of there. Stupid yeah, but considering how he was going to get ripped apart by an angry mob understandable.

Surrounded by an angry mob armed with baseball bats and poles who are OUT FOR BLOOD your first thought would be:
'WHAT HAVE I GOT TO LOSE?, I AM GOING TO DIE ANYWAY'
