not necessarily, in this case the crash caused the wing to stall and the nose to point down, therefore the spinning is caused by drag. The left wing has more drag then... the air on the right so it forces the plane around. Just a note the plane will continue rotating with a lowered nose unless the wing starts to create lift again. It's basically an auto-rotating lone wing so the plane behaves like it's in an upside down spin. Nasty.
