As a motorcycle rider this type of behavior is embarrassing. Hopefully the one person that was hospitalized is ok.
Edit:
Sorry for the thread title that kinda blames the rider as the start of the chain of events. According to the witnesses the car started it all. The hate for motorcyclist when you people are safe and comfortable in your cars is insane.

Tim Morrison and Chris Traber, who shot the video, were on their way to work when they say the driver of the silver sedan cut in front of the motorcyclist.
The incident continued to escalate between the two motorists so Traber decided to start recording on his cellphone.
The video shows the motorcyclist apparently kicking the side of the sedan, which then swerves into the motorcycle.
Clear Video of the accident.
Some Observations:
Looks likes there were some verbal exchanges before the kick.
The kick caused a big dent on the driver's side door. (Might be there already - who knows?)
The car did appear to side swipe the bike just after the kick.
The car could've exploded when hitting the barrier O_O.
The biker has to see both the Car and the SUV crashes.
The biker left the scene after the crash.
