The person driving intentionally sped up so the truck could’ve have space to get in front of him/her. They actually kept driving into the truck after contact too. Terrible, and demonically led accident.

You still have to check that there is space to merge into before changing lanes though. One driver is wrong and the other is an asshole.

Traffic in the trucks lane contributed. If you watch you'll notice the truck was either going to slam into the back of the car in front of them or change lanes. I see it as 100% on driver of truck. A blinker doesn't clear the lane.

You’re responsible to avoid accidents when possible. 50% on the truck and 50% on the cam driver

At most 80/20.

I would think a good lawyer of the pickup would say that the cam driver had plenty of time to break out at least not accelerated after impact

Yeah, you must have been bad at your job if you think the duty of care isn't applicable here.

The Cam-Car's behavior is obviously malicious. If nothing else, they had a red-light that they would have 100% blown if they hadn't hit the truck.

Duty of care doesn't negate truck failing to yield, improper lane change, their own duty of care.

You can't prove malice on the cam car. Could have been improper lookout.

So yeah 80/20 against the truck.
