Reading some articles about this incident, it sounds like what set this all off was that passenger car illegally crossed over into that HOV lane and cut that motorcyclist off, which is what pissed him off so much.
Crazy people on the roads.

I hope they are able to get the license number of the motorcycle. That guy needs to be held accountable for what he caused. The vehicle who got the worst of it did not seem to be involved in the incident that led up to this, they were just in the wrong place. I hope no one was injured seriously.

The physics of this situation doesn't add up.
The motorcycle has far less mass than the car, yet, the motorcyclist is able to push the car (from the rear quarter panel) and cause it to swerve out of control, while the motorcycle shows very little movement away from the contact point (think of recoil of a rifle).
If anything, the motorcycle is the one that should have been pushed back when the motorcyclist pushed the car, not the car.
My guess is that the driver of the car was watching him approach in the mirror, and jerked the wheel when he saw the motorcyclist kick his car. Had he not reacted the way he did, the motorcycle would have been the one to veer off to the left, away from the force of the kick.
Besides road rage, another contributing factor was human error on the part of the car driver.

Not trying to place all the blame on the car. None of this would have happened if the motorcyclist hadn't kicked the car in the first place. So, the blame for the accident is on the motorcyclist. I was just trying to show that the car wouldn't have crashed into the barrier just from the kick, alone. For some reason the car driver (and your analysis is as good as mine) jerked the wheel to the left; but not from the force of the kick.

Actually IMO the driver tried to push the motorcycle into the wall. The driver then moved right
to see his work in the mirror, then looked up and noticed they had crossed into another lane and then jerked the wheel
causing them to lose control and hit the wall.
The reason I say this is because I would have put that fucking motorcycle into the wall. I have moved them over
and will do it again. A tooth pick on a balanced game at 50+ mph, fuck off.

That's kind of what I gathered too. Looked like the car deliberately tried to veer left and ram the motorcycle, once he saw him kick the car in the side-view mirror.
Then he over-corrected twice and spun out of control.
Lots of blame to go around here...

Whole lot of stupid to go around, clearly a license revocation and jail time would be in order for these two asswipes.
