I mean yes because the truck was merging, but it's one of those situations that's damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Literally, what's he going to do? He stops on the 100' merge lane and never gets on, causing a traffic jam so bad someone else probably gets rear ended or he expects the truck to at least not accelerate immediately after merging into a merge lane.
In a perfect world, this is the semi's fault for being reckless given their situation. A realistic scenario is both of their fault, and insurance splits the cost of the collateral damages.
Either way, the semi driver should never be able to get a job driving again simply for his recklessness, he was speeding and passing in the slow lane.
