Easy to blame lorry driver for going into back of mini bus but here is apparently the truth, I only refer to footage, nothing else

Lorry driver has been cleared of wrong doing.

They showed the entire footage from the lorry previously. The Lorry driver had no chance whatsoever to avoid the collision. He was overtaken by another HGV who then pulled in front of him and blocked his view. Then this lorry swerved to avoid the minibus leaving him no chance to avoid it himself.
Incredibly sad - and the question has to be why and what caused the minibus to come to a halt in lane one?
Was blocking off whole sections of the motorway hard shoulder for work to be done on it to convert it to a “smart motorway” (with no hard shoulder
) sensible as this left the driver of the minibus no opportunity of a safe zone to pull into?
