Its really a case poor driving. A good driver is aware that his vehicle takes time to stop so will not tailgate and keeps a braking distance gap. A poor driver takes things for granted and makes assumptions like the vehicle in front will not apply sudden brakes.

Not saying it was the car drivers fault as you rightly point out the car may have been hit from behind, forcing it into the bus infront. In this case the driver of the truck who hit the car from behind is to blame for not keeping a suitable braking distance.
