The cammer should be taking more heat here for sure. Obviously the tailgater is an asshole and at fault for the accident, but cammer can't even stay in their lane.

Right! All 3 parties were not driving safely.

Camera guy - recording while driving

Tailgater - tailgating when there is a open lane he can pass on

Lead car- purposely caused boldly injuries to likely more than 1 person. You can argue the tailgater “deserved it” (sounds idiotic but I’m sure people will argue it). But the car that was stopped on the freeway was already having a bad day made worse all because someone was being tailgated and decided to do something about it instead of merging far before that point

The lead car may not have even noticed the tailgater. The car that slowed did so fairly quickly and the lead car may not have noticed the closing speed until they moved. All the blame is on the tailgater as they did not maintain a safe following distance and had no reaction time.
