Is diyah and fasting obligatory for a driver who caused an accident resulting in a death, knowing that the cause of the accident was another car swerving in front of him?

Neither diyah (blood money) nor (expiation) is obligatory if you did not exceed the speed limit, were not fatigued or drowsy to the point of impairing concentration, and exerted maximum effort to avoid the accident but were unable to do so.
