According to the Abilene Reporter-News, the driver of the pick-up truck is James Christopher North and he was indicted on a first-degree murder charge by the grand jury.
North (Driver A) is alleging that David (Driver B) fired the first shot in the confrontation and is claiming self-defense; but hasn't been real clear about where in the timeline it happened. Obviously, if it happened after North rammed the Mustang into opposing traffic, it is likely that even David firing first won't be enough to claim self-defense under Texas law.
