Is that particular stretch of road long/straight? Basically roads have expansion/control joints in them where they are cut so that they can expand with the temperature, but the joints can fill with dirt that gets compacted over time. The amount of growth it undergoes from a temperature is a function of the length of the run and the change in temperature, so if you have a very long straight run that growth from temperature change can reach pretty significant amounts, and with no functioning expansion joints can impose a huge compressive force through the slab. Its only real option to make room for that extra length is then to buckle, which tends to be an instant failure mode and not really a gradual thing.
[edit] its been a while since I have done any real road/bridge design, but same basic principal as street creep which is something we end up dealing with every once in a while. Basically, you don't want to have your driveway parallel to a long straight road and coming off the end of it because a lot of cities aren't great with maintenance (or technically responsible depending on HOA stuff), and often times an even easier failure method is that instead of buckling it can just push someone's driveway into their garage slab and then push their garage slab through the back of their garage. That does at least tend to be a more gradual failure than the video here.
