I know this doesn't really help, but when looking at an accident involving two cars I like to see what the result would have been if either of the cars was not there at all, then attribute blame.
In your case, if the car that spun around was taken out of the equation, you would have continued driving on your merry way.
If your car is taken out of the equation, then the person in front would have spun his car, kicked it over again and driven off.
Clearly the factor that can be controlled here is the guy who spun his car. There is no possible way to control whether someone is behind him or not. You can certainly control whether the car spins or not (the guy should have been driving slower, paying more attention etc).
For both cars to be written off it must have been a very hard hit, particularly for the car taking damage to the front. Side impacts are usually a write off due to chassis damage.
It's almost at the point where you need a camera in your car like what the cops have.
