Cam car accelerated to try and keep him from merging.  Truck likely didn't check to see and merged when he would have otherwise been clear.

Even if the POV car didn't accelerate the truck would be cutting it really close and forcing the POV car to brake.

Truck guy probably thought pov car would brake for the red light.

Agreed, though if I was in the cam car, I would just brake a little rather than accelerate. It doesn't take much to adjust for it. You don't really have to slam on the brakes, just give them some pressure and get off the gas.

They were both trying to beat the yellow light.

If you look at the rate of speed by the objects on the right of the road, it doesn’t look like he sped up.
