You had close call, scary moment, or accident, towing?

I-75 downtown Macon. Car on shoulder, brake lights come on backup lights flash brake lights go off. And then pulls right out onto I-75. Have traffic in left lane so I just mash the brakes down. Didn't hit her, but lost sight of the tail lamps before the gap started widening again. We were getting off at one of the next exits. Pull down the ramp and up beside the same black VW, light changes and we make our left. She now is in the center lane and wants to turn right. She did.
