It sure does.

Route 3080 - THese roads are no longer built in Europe - they are 4 lanes (2 e/w) with no form of barrier in the median, so the white vehicle was able to cross into oncoming traffic.

 

THere is a junction here - it is possible the white pick up came out of that and steered into the wrong lane or also he may have been avoiding a vehicle making a RH turn into that sideroad
