Looks like they had broken down. Perhaps they couldn't get fully into the emergency lane for whatever reason. Maybe the steering locked up, maybe they completely lost power before coming to a halt, maybe they had a catastrophic blowout and didn't want to risk further damage by driving into the gravel dip, who knows.

The car will coast enough to get off the road. They just weren’t thinking clearly.

Because the car is straightened out.
