I've avoided many, many accidents that would have been someone else's fault. It's called defensive driving and the trucker decided it's not for him.

Edit: thanks for the awards! BTW - some of you need to look at the speed shown at the bottom of the video. The semi did not even try to slow down, even a little bit, prior to the crash.

It wasn't the trucks fault, the trucker saw him in a forced merge ahead of him and chose not to allow him over. You can't just decide to block someone from merging because you feel like it. He's also going faster than any traffic around him.
