From the latest pictures, I looks like the pilot saw they were headed for a ridge, pulled up but hit the ridge with the aircraft belly, breaking off the tail, while the rest of the aircraft bounced back into the air and continued on and pancaked into the next ridge.

There is a distinct “Scuff” mark on the first ridge with a clearly defined shape of the fuselage and wings about 150-200 feet before the remnants of the tail section.
