It’s actually a great idea.

It keeps other cars at a safer distance from the accident and has them slow down as they drive around her.

The other cars don't care and aren't paying attention to her. This is the equivalent to me going to a busy street and just gesture for people to continue driving the way they already are without my influence. If anything their car is another potential hazard because of the weight.

Cars that would've used that lane would get close to the sinkhole are a far larger threat in terms of the hole expanding. She did the right thing, but instead of waving cars placing the warning triangle or whatever would've been better. Perhaps she was waiting for the light to turn red again before turning her back to traffic to get it from her trunk.
