How does this happen? Fast forward to 0:50 sec:

I do not see the trucks nose move down so he did not brake check the little car. All the cars stayed in relative formation except the little one who made the mistakes of changing lanes too fast and lost control.

Unfortunately this happens far too often. An impatient driver who overestimates his driving skills (and the capabilities of his car) tries a high risk maneuver and loses control. Even with a highly skilled driver and a better handling car that type of close quarters lane change at speed has a high risk of failure.
I suspect phone use had nothing to do with it. The driver was fully alert and engaged and fell victim to his own aggressiveness.
"Tetris Players".... see them on a 4 lane on the morning drive every day.
GOT to get in front of you before the next traffic light.
Typical Ontario drivers, we get them down here (no taxes on clothing)

doesn't seem there was anything wrong with the car, it is just how physics works,
That was really good defensive driving by the two cars immediately behind the out of control vehicle. Kudos to them.
I have learned my driving technique from my CNC career. When I first started running CNCs (many years ago), the rapid rates were 100 to 150 inches per minute - wow - that was "mess my pants gonads sucking up between the legs fast". Now they are 700 or 1000 inches per minute - increase tool to work piece engagement time. That's how I now like to drive. No sense in spending "non-productive" time in-between destinations!
What I said. Physics.
Or as my wife explains "Mr. Newton is *always* in the drivers seat."
