   The car that approached from the right did not stop, and was not a factor.   
      
   I gather you are considering the car with the dash cam to be white, so   
   that leaves us with the filming driver and the one that hit it.   
      
   We can't tell if the the car that stuck the can car came through a red   
   light, or perhaps one that came through the green from the opposite   
   direction of the initial view. In other words, did both cars in the   
   collision have a green light If so, I say the cam car was at fault, that   
   fault being turning too wide and encroachinng on the lane of the car   
   that stuck it.   
      
   --   
   When someone points out something in real life, and says, "That's   
   amazing!", I like to say "Oh, that's photoshopped".
