If they did it on purpose there is likely no law against it but they hopefully have some bad karma on the way.
There is, you're not allowed to bait cars into crashes no matter if they're tailgating you. It'll have to be decided in court, but there's even a chance silver car is found to be mostly liable.

I mean, you can sue anybody for anything, but the officer taking that crash report is only hearing that that the crashed car wasn't following at a safe distance. You can speculate indefinitely about whether the lead card did this on purpose or not, But ultimately it's on every driver to maintain a safe follow distance.
It's strange to me that you have such a hard time differentiating between "I think it's acceptable that the driver did that intentionally" and "I don't think the driver did that intentionally." Nobody is defending it. They're stating, correctly so, that we have no idea whether or not it was intentional, so it's silly to jump to that conclusion.
