If the second roll ends up as a 20, the other creature is hit accidentally by the attack (be it friend or foe).
If I was going to do this I think that instead of requiring a second roll I'd simply say that it automatically hit the intervening target for the sake of simplicity.

This rule is a bit more "fiddly" than most of what I've been doing but it's the kind of thing I'd normally consider using.
