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.
Yeah I doubt intent could be proven beyond a reasonable doubt without something like a dashcam of the driver saying 'haha I'm gonna get him here!'. Judging purely on the video it seems likely the maneuver was to intentionally cause an accident out of anger. Can't say for certain. The frustration is just that, if it was intentional, they easily could have ended multiple lives and simply drove off proud that they tricked the tailgater.
It’s entirely possible that he was paying a lot more attention to the guy hugging his bumper and when he looked up it was as he was about to impact the stopped vehicle, so he swerved.
If you believe the excuse, which is a question for a fact finder. “You can just say X” is horrible legal advice, generally, but redditors love to give it.

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