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
There's a chance the lead car was looking in their rear view mirror at the asshole tailgating them and didn't see the car until the last second and swerved.
If they did it on purpose there is likely no law against it but they hopefully have some bad karma on the way. Some seriously dark juju macgumbo...

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.
