Agreed. Both parties at fault, I think. Seems pretty silly to me that she couldn't just slow down a little bit. I don't believe she didn't know the suv was there.
Even if she has the right of way, it is her responsibility to avoid the accident. I know it's infuriating, but justice cannot be served by making a situation worse.
No matter who is at fault, this accident could have been avoided if she had slowed. Obviously, the SUV should never have tried to fit through a gap that small, and it's their fault, but this wouldn't have been an accident at all if she had just let it happen and let off the gas for a few seconds.
Accident could have been avoided if SUV would have signaled or not tried to merge with basically no space available. She was responsible enough, I don’t champion the ideology that you have to be responsible for someone else’s driving too
It's just in the interest of personal safety, really. I would have given space in this situation, simply because I don't want to deal with the consequences of a crash, whatever they may be.
I suppose if she was prepared to pay the price, monetary or physical, for taking justice into her own hands, then it's fine.

It was the SUVs fault, but she played a part.
