What was with the really abrupt, herky-jerky passing that he was doing in the Z? Right before the accident it's like he's sawing the wheel back and forth, and you can see the car wobble left and right 3-4 times. Certainly not smooth. Not the most experienced driver?

Yeah, looks like as he was passing he lost the front slightly and may have tapped him.
Though that is no reason for him bumping the Z after that when neither lost control, the second bump was obviously intentional and took both of them out.
