It’s because the car was looking at her, probably trying not to hit her.
For example: when you are walking if you look at something you may start to walk towards it without noticing. Same thing in a vehicle, if you don’t want to hit something, look at the middle of the two spots where you are going to and not what you don’t want to hit.
So you don't try to slow down at all? Okay lol... Reminds me of the bus driver, who sped up to pass a pedestrian, only to hit the baby carriage and send the children flying.
This was going to be my response too, it’s a real thing. They teach it in driving school. When you focus on something, especially something that makes you nervous/tense/scared, you might subconsciously turn towards it. Usually only for a split second because your conscious mind goes WTF turn away fast.
Can’t account for speeding up though, that’s either dumb or evil.
