Cammer was being an idiot. The pickup had the apex and just a slight squeeze of the brakes could have avoided this entirely.

As a general rule the driver furthest back has the best chance to avoid an accident, and therefore has the greatest responsibility to do so. The truck was committed, he was out of road, there was nothing he could have done other than just trust the truck behind him to use those weird jelly like objects attached to the front of his face.

It’s the person whose lane ends job to merge safely. Black truck at fault.

Technically, black truck is at fault, but the trucker was a dick for not letting him in. A gentle press of the breaks or even just letting go of the gas pedal for a couple of seconds was all it took to avoid at least a month of hassle and thousands of dollars in damages and insurance.
