I'm sure I have seen the dash cam footage to this accident and the driver was paying attention

The mini bus broke down in lane 1, the hard shoulder was barrierd off.

The lorry with the dash cam was also travelling in lane 1. The lorry was overtaken by another lorry which then pulled into lane 1. The lead lorry saw the mini bus and moved to lane 2, the lorry with the dash cam which was behind in lane 1 saw the mini bus that much later and could not avoid it.

Loss of life and life changing injuries followed. The lorry driver with the dash cam was cleared of any offence and from what I saw in the dash cam footage, was the right decision.

I cant find the clip on Youtube but as a driving lesson, it should be there

I have set my recorder to record this program

It is hardly surprising there are near missis and accidents due to no "hard shoulder"
