The play began with 1 out. Second out on IFF. Third out on INT.
Fielders have a right to an unimpeded attempt to field a batted ball. The runner bumped into him. Minimal judgment required to call that (some would say "automatic").
INT by a runner is an immediate dead ball in all cases. Only coach's, catcher's, and batter's INT are delayed dead.
