My interpretation of Reverse Zoom is essentially the opposite of the Zoom technique, as it reduces the images size as the camera pulls further away. This as a result reduces detail on immediate objects but also shows a lot more of the set and scenery than what was previously visible.
I believe this was used in this scene to initially display the focal point/event of the scene i.e. the car crash. As it zooms out more of the surrounding area becomes visible allowing the audience to see the damage and carnage that has occurred. This results in a more dramatic experience of the scene as the audience becomes aware not only of the consequences for those involved directly in the crash but also the damage caused to the surrounding locations from a birds eye view.
