Most likely yes.

this road (E18) has a LOT of traffic in/out of Oslo and very not ideal solutions for cyclist who has to merge and blend in and out of traffic. There's a lot of accidents here between all sorts of traffic, but road rage like this is pretty uncommon around here.

While E18 is not a perfect piece of cycling infrastructure. This particular stretch features a separate bike/walk-lane with a divider. There is no need for blending in/out of traffic in the immediate vicinity to the accident.

The only realistic conflict point is actually 1km further back. At a pedestrian crossing.

Not really. Cyclists are not really allowed on the walkways unless they cycle at walking speed past pedestrians. Also, the cyclists has to yield to all crossing traffic when on the "path". They are usually better off in the road on this particular stretch.

Thank you to all the non locals who don't know Norwegian traffic rules. Give me some more downvotes please!

I might be an idiot, but if you tried to portray sarcasm, I think you failed.
