The fault is obviously the driver who hit them, but also the social pressure of holding everyone up and making a quick decision to go and clear up the intersection.
This isn't unlike a situation where a truck stopped to help my sister turn left out of a business he wanted to turn into on a 2 lane 2 way. She had no visibility, and the dude was angerly waving her to leave for his wide turn. She let the social pressure get to her, went out to peak around him, saw the far lane was clear and went, then got tboned by someone zipping around him. She never would have tried that had he not made her seem like she was the unreasonable one making him circle the block again or make the wide turn into the other lane to get in straighter... Course he didn't stop to be a witness either.
