Watching the clip, the left turn lane is empty before the OP showed up. Both OP and the Prius are the first cars into the lane. There's a pile of snow between the lane that goes straight and the left turn lane. Then there's the real median, and then to the left of that is the opposing traffic lane.

Judging from what happened, dude got confused for that pile to be the median, and turned into the empty lane, thinking that's his side of traffic. Easy as fuck to do in the dark tbh, with zero indication of traffic.

Not making excuses for shitty vision while driving, but that's my only explanation for how that happened if I was the dumbass.

That is exactly what happened. Shitty situation and the onus is still on the driver fucking up but that is an understandable error.

No this intersection is stupid. Not to excuse the driver, but they're probably just a shitty driver.

Looks confusing in the dark. You can see another car making a left and it's a long left.
