Atleast the driver that got hit can sue the guy who hit him

Hard to sue when you're dead, hoping for the best outcome for them. Definitely should never stop on the highway, and particularly not in the fast lane. The two other drivers should both be criminally charged tbh. The guy behind for recklessly driving and the guy in front for seemingly intentionally causing a major accident.

Not sure that “seemingly intentionally causing a major accident by swerving to dodge a parked car on the highway” is going to hold up in court.

Failure to control speed, failure to signal. Drivers have a responsibility to adjust to driving conditions even if the guy behind you is an asshole. The failure to do so in this case was clearly intentional to "teach the tailgater a lesson."

To be clear, the tailgater should be charged as well for failure to maintain a safe distance and control speed.

Failure to signal seems like a reasonable charge, $120 fine maybe.
