Will I have my license suspended for following to closely that resulted in an accident?

One afternoon I was driving on the highway headed to a friends pre- graduation party when I hit a bit of congestion. After being in stop in go traffic for a while the traffic started to speed up a little and I proceed to follow the flow of traffic. (Please keep in mind I always leave plenty of room in case I have to stop sudden) I reached a top speed of 35mph. I drove about 2, then noticed many of the cars ahead of me where moving out of the lane I was in. Only then did I realized that there had been a wreck and one car was still halfway in the lane. I had no way to get over. I tried to slow down but after realizing the car in front of me was stopped ( without brake lights) I had no option other than hit the car, which caused them to hit a car as well. My car was un-drivable, both airbags deployed. I was told by the Officer that I could have my license suspended. Is that true? That was my 1st accident and in a different state.
