The asshole driving the car should be charged with attempted
murder.

The California Highway Patrol is searching for a motorcyclist
who was captured on video as he kicked a vehicle on the 14
Freeway in Santa Clarita on Wednesday and triggered a wild,
chain-reaction crash that left one motorist injured when his
truck flipped.
The 22-second clip of the apparent road-rage incident has been
shared thousands of times on Facebook. It shows the motorcyclist
kicking the driver’s side of a sedan in the southbound carpool
lane of the freeway. The sedan responds by veering left and
sideswiping the motorcycle.
The sedan driver appears to lose control at the end of the
maneuver, swerving right, across the double-yellow lines, then
hard left before slamming into the freeway divider. The force of
the collision with the concrete barrier throws up sparks and
lifts the car’s left rear tire off the ground.
In the video, the car ricochets off the barrier and into
traffic, where it barrels into the driver’s door of a white
pickup truck, flipping it onto its roof.
The truck slides down the freeway upside down before skidding to
a stop in the fast lane. The sedan spun 360 degrees and came to
a stop in the slow lane with white smoke or steam pluming from
the engine.
The motorcyclist rode off without stopping. The California
Highway Patrol said the incident is considered a hit-and-run. It
occurred on the southbound 14 Freeway about 5:45 a.m. Wednesday
at Newhall Avenue, authorities said.
“Obviously it was a road-rage incident. He was seen kicking the
vehicle,” CHP Officer Josh Greengard told KNBC-TV.
The driver of the pickup suffered non-life-threatening injuries
and was taken to the hospital, Greengard said. The other driver
was uninjured.
“It looked like a pretty violent video … this could’ve been a
horrible tragedy,” Greengard said. “More people could’ve gotten
hurt.”
Though the video shows the driver of the sedan swerving into the
motorcycle, investigators still want to talk to the motorcyclist
before citing anyone or making an arrest.
“We need to get the motorcyclist’s side of the story to see what
led up to this incident. We’re not sure what happened farther
back,” Greengard said.
