Could I get into trouble for what I did to this "tailgater" today, or did I do a good thing?

Raining real bad here in Indiana today, was on a paved 2 lane county road, hills, speed limit 55, log truck in front me going about 55 most of the time, I stayed back about 300 feet , car behind me came up and was so close I couldn't see the bumper on it, this went on for about 2 miles, I saw a "pot-hole", 3 foot wide and maybe 2 feet deep, ahead and aimed for it, swerved just in time to avoid hitting it, driver behind me hit it dead center, I think it may have caused her to drop her cell-phone, and messed up her car, anyway she came after me flashing her headlights and I saw she wrote my license plate # down.
