You’ve got that right.
Pure speculation here but, it appears the pilot either lost an engine on takeoff or tried to bank the plane without sufficient airspeed. I would bet on the latter because of the attitude of the aircraft at the beginning of this video.
They did “land” on the highway just not in a good way.
