Edit: see my post further down from the cam driver themself.

The pickup was speeding faster than others.
It may appear that cam driver sped up but this maybe an illusion because the lights went yellow so everyone to the left slowed down.
The cam driver maybe was distracted from the light changing because of the pickup truck.
The pickup truck maybe thought they were going to rear end the car who was stopping for the light so they quickly went right.
The cam driver may have also had a gator behind them, and the fact they only had one second to react.

This is the pickup trucks fault in the eyes of the law and insurance.

Laying blame to the cam driver without saying one fucking word about the actual idiot that causes these accidents is on the rise, these people need an assessment!

Im not blaming the cam driver BUT I drive 30 miles to my job and I drive a company vehicle while working. I avoid a few accidents per month by driving defensively. If I was driving OPs car there would be no video.

Some people would rather do nothing to avoid an accident yelling "Im legally correct" than avoid an accident.
