Your crash is very similar to mine when I somehow managed to flick into manual mode. See video at 2.53ish

The quad felt odd during pre-flight (LOS), little did I know that I had a loose prop and during the FPV flight I started fighting the controls. Just as I was landing I went into manual mode? And I was only able to recover because the OSD showed "MAN", then the prop came off and the quad did a complete roll landing on its leg and breaking a skid.

SO finally found it  ;D I do like a proper reason for a failure like this and by pure chance i have found it  :D I changed out the two motors and esc,s on the side that dropped just to be safe  :)

I have flown her several times since in just the hover to check all is well and touch wood she seems ok, but when playing around with one of the motors i removed  i found that with sustained pressure on the shaft it will suddenly let go and spin in the motor casing  turns out the motor shaft is scored around the diameter  of the shaft so badly it will not come out  :+

Time to look at different motors i think
