Liability of Passenger in Other Vehicle

My daughter was a passenger in a moving vehicle, she threw a candycane at another moving vehicle to get their attention. When the driver of the other vehicle turned to see what had happened, he hit the vehicle in front of him.

The driver of the other vehicle is now threatening to sue. What is your advice to me?
