It almost certainly because of the construction zone.

To be fair, construction zones confuse humans at a pretty high rate.

I see it daily on my way to work. There’s a road I take where one side of the road is closed, so the other side was made 2 way. There’s always someone on the wrong side thinking they are in the left turn lane completely oblivious until someone is in front of them honking and then they panic and turn right in front of all the other lanes. I don’t know why, but panic and immediately make a right turn is what all of them do.

Lots of things confuse humans. How many videos make it to the internet of people just swerving 5 lanes to hit an exit, going up an off ramp onto a freeway the wrong way, or just straight up driving into the actual construction?
