Sliding into the base or running into it is no difference in the rules, except that the runner stays on the base, (presumably ).

The "turning to go to second base" is not part of the rule.
Neither is the wording "avoid a collision"; although that is the result.
The rule is only about whether there is a play on the BR at 1st.
