This is why you don't brake check people. (NSFW due to language)

In most (but not all) cases, and that would probably include this one, a vehicle hitting from behind is at fault. Can't blame it on a brake-check.....you, as a driver, are expected to be able to avoid a rear-ender even if the vehicle in front out comes to a sudden stop.
There are a few exceptions, though, to that rule. One of them is the well-known insurance accident-scam where a car suddenly pulls or veers in front of someone, slams on his brakes, deliberately causes a rear-ender, and then people in the back seat fake whiplash injuries.

It doesn't appear that he was tailgating before the car slowed to a stop. Everyone needs a dash cam!

Yeah, but the truck driver was listening to Pitbull, so he deserved it. ![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Guy that stopped should get his hide whipped though. I came across a jerk the other day who stopped on the interchange between Summerlin Parkway and US-95. Apparently was reacting to possibly taking the wrong exit, and thought stopping was appropriate.

The truck driver clearly will be cited too maybe for following too closely. It seems like he was rear ended and then hit the blue car.
The driver of the blue car is a complete idiot and should never be allowed to drive again.

If the blue car has no reason to go that slow, there is no engine failure, etc then he can he cited as well. This was not in America so the laws could be very different. You can't just stop on a highway for no reason or b/c you are mad someone is tailgating you.

That, of course, is how those well-known accident-scams I described above sometimes get away with it.

I believe the standard in many jurisdictions is if you hit anywhere behind the driver's door, you're at fault automatically. While I can see the validity of such an idea in trying to reinforce proper following distances....sometimes there ain't crap you can do when somebody swerves into your lane and locks them up. Happens all the time here in Vegas. Just last night on my way home from dinner at the Venetian, I was minding my own business in the hammer lane on US-95(with at least 10 car lengths between me and the car ahead of me) and some dumb POS suddenly pulls in front of me(without signalling, mind you) and abruptly slows from 75 to 50. Talk about people that shouldn't be allowed to keep breathing.
