IMO, she passed the crash site before turning around because that wasn't the direction home. She turned around and unfortunately went back up the ramp she exited on (due to her intoxication). She wanted to go home, she just didn't want to see her husband or brother in the condition she was in.
I agree. And how could she have "chosen" the spot of the accident? Even if she checked it out on the way north, how could she be sure there would be an oncoming car at that spot when she came back the other way?
Given her personality and impairment, I think it's far more likely that when she saw the oncoming traffic, either (a) she assumed they were normal oncoming traffic, or (b) her first thought was "Damn! I'm going the wrong way and I better hurry to the next exit!". Of course, an unimpaired person would just pull off the pavement; but we know DS was very, very drunk/high.
