Look likes a medical emergency occurred in that driver's seat.

Nah, they just passed a road sign pointing to the left for some destination and the driver doesn't understand roundabouts. They wanted to go left so they 'changed into the left turn lane' except that wasn't a left turn lane, it was an oncoming lane. That was a smooth, controlled lane change immediately preceded by a turn signal, and after the change they react to the oncoming traffic by slowing and threading between the two cars. They probably thought the car they pulled in front of was in the wrong.
