Were the other two "knocked off" their bikes, did they fall off their
bikes, or doesn't it matter which it is?

Much like the "cash for crash" fiddle where a car driver will go in front of a car, slam on the brakes and cause the victim to collide with them.

Dangerous driving.

That sort of case is very obviously deliberate and moves straight into
the plain criminal, with its implied conspiracy to defraud).

The vast majority of traffic accidents are not caused deliberately (ie,
not with the collision as a desired outcome, even if the result of
carelessness or recklessness).
