It was raining and the road was very slippery. Car B, which was in front of car A, braked suddenly for some unknown reason. Trying to avoid a collision with car B, Car A skided and spun 90 degrees before it finally stopped without hitting car B. Car C was at a great distance behind car A and didn't see what happened because car C was going up the hump of the bridge when car A went out of control. As car C was coming down the bridge, car C didn't see car A because car A was stopped sideways and no lights were visible to cat C. When car C finally saw car A, it couldn't stop in time and smashed into car A. Car B didn't stop after the accident. Two more chain-reacted collisions occured behind car C. QUESTION: Which car (or cars) is LEGALLY responsible for the accident?
