That's pretty horrific! And the driver is in critical condition! U-turn across 6 lanes?? Where was prescence-of-mind??? Hopes and prayers for a full recovery! 
On the logical side, I always like these pictures as they show places and things you normally don't see..

SQURIMIN I have the same problem
There are so many stupid drivers on the road it makes it dangerous for everyone else. Maybe a IQ test should be part of the drivers test.

Everytime I see someone trying to correct a navigational error with a u-turn, multiple-lane swap, back-up or whatever, I wonder why they think THEY are so special that they can't go around the block and avoid traffic jams or worse.
People!!!: Go around the block...Go to the next exit and turn around...Admit your mistake and don't make the rest of us PAY!!!!
Yes, people can be idiots. I think these types of errors (as those I list above) should count double against driving violations (aka points on your DL).
