Accident could also have been avoided if the car driver was not a total spastic. It also cannot be their first incident of dangerous driving, there has to be a string of dangers under their belt too.
As said, the car driver needs jail time.
Can't exactly see much other than "not for broadcast"

From a Florida news paper this was the junction.
Wasn't a speed bump but can see the Tesla lifting after going over yump at junction then grounding after. Either that done the damage or caused the driver to loss control and into a tree. Either way battery went to fireball in a way quicker than you'd want.

Completely agree with what your saying, she is 100% at fault. The lorry should have been driving defensively too, as much as he is in the right you can't just plough on full speed when there is a high probability that the driver will act dangerousoy based on her current behaviour.
Everyone should cycle or ride a motorbike on the road to appreciate how vulnerable you really are. I actually find watching dash cam compilations is good to highlight just how stupid drivers can be, I'm constantly surprised.

I think the fact the guy is still on the horn when hes out of control says alot tbh, end result definitely appears avoidable.

To busy trying to make a point instead of avoiding the accident. A common problem with people trying to get dash cam content.

And dare I say it, some lorry drivers
He probably wasnt intentionally on the horn for the full duration, but accidentally dropped his iPad onto the wheel when he realised he'd have to pause Netflix

And many many cyclists, and also pedestrians.
The amount of pedestrians I've seen just walking across roads lately without even looking, heads glued into their phones is shocking. Just totally oblivious to the world around them
But, its their 'right' to do so

Not an excuse for the move, but some might argue it's poor defensive driving. You could almost predict it, driving along behind, gaining ground and moving towards his blindspot.

Anytime I see dashcam footage I spend at least 95% of my viewing time on critically analysing the driving of dashcam owner

- Really well
Some counts for nothing, insurance will sort the some out
. He broke your line and if he hit you he was in the wrong. Go watch the yanks dash cams and you'll see no one cares about the "some" they'll drive through a green light seeing another car cutting the red light and not even brake just let the car be hit and they get a clear cut claim. Hundreds of videos of it that could be avoided but aren't.
Hit the rounds over the weekend, it's down at kingscourt it happened. Car could of avoided but it'll fall to tractor at fault for breaking the white line.

That's a cracker.
The Avensis could easily have avoided that, although probably barely in their own lane, could easily have moved over to allow room for that huge tractor blindingly obviously coming toward them

Wonder who is at fault there
