And another bad driver will not be looking at the road and plow into multiple people.

Here’s a source from People magazine.

Drivers involved in the crash suffered bumps and bruises but no life-threatening injuries, [Fox 8] reported. Their vehicles were extensively damaged.

The red car is still the cause here.

The gray van is a consequence of that cause. It would happen regardless. Even if the person in the gray van was paying attention, someone else would not be paying enough attention and still wreck.

You're confusing proximate cause and root cause. The van is a mechanism of failure, the red car is the cause of failure.

This is still the red car's fault, entirely. The van of course is holding my ability for being the proximate cause, but at the end of the day blaming the van for not paying attention doesn't actually prevent situations like these from occurring.
