The fact that her hazard lights were on SHOULD make a big difference. It's not that she acted impulsively, with no thought for road safety.
I saw another "woman saves ducks on road" feature recently (sorry I can't find the link now) where a woman stopped on the median on a highway, to rescue ducklings which would have been mowed down by traffic otherwise. Their mother had just been killed by a car. The woman called 911. A state trooper was behind her, and she thought he had come as a result of her call, to help. But instead he fined her $100. (for parking on the median)
The woman said she would do exactly the same thing if she had to, again! Good for her!
Only two ducklings were rescued. And sadly, one of them passed away later.
