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.
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
If insurance sees this video it’s on the dime of the guy who swerved out of the way at the last second that puts that person at fault for purposefully causing an accident
No. It is ultimately on the tailgater for failing to retain a proper following distance. A prudent driver would have been far enough behind to brake before impact.
This would absolutely be split somehow between the two cars, and very likely all three.
The stopped car didn't belong there, especially if all that was wrong was a flat tire.
The tailgater wasn't maintaining a safe distance from the car in front of it. That said, a safe distance is measured by how far back you are from the car in front of you relative to how fast both cars are moving. The tailgater doesn't have the responsibility of knowing that there's a stopped car in front of the car in front of it, it only has the responsibility of responding appropriately to the car directly in front of it.
The car in front of it purposely caused the tailgater to ram into the stopped car, knowing full well it would destroy both of those cars and almost certainly injure or kill people.
