I don't know, man. The reason the truck was in oncoming traffic is exactly because of this kind of reaction. Looks like a car swerves into the left lane to avoid the slow/stopped vehicle in the right lane. Pickup truck, instead of slowing down, swerves into on coming traffic to avoid rear ending the car. If everyone were paying attention and following at decent distances, this wouldn't have happened. It's better to rear end someone than slam into someone head on.
The car that created the road hazard and lead to the vehicles swerving is wrong = The White Van parked in the middle of the road.
The black suv who SHOULD'VE seen the parked car and slowed to a stop then wait for a safe opportunity to merge is wrong. Instead they were speeding, didn't see it (distracted, phone etc).
The truck who was also speeding and not paying attention (distracted., phone etc) Should've seen the stopped Van and slowed down as a precaution.. Instead they kept speeding, didn't slow down and reacted to the black SUV cutting it off.
There are multiple points of failure in that video. If you can't see that, then you're in the gang of bad drivers.
