You sure she just chose to do that on a whim and wasn’t experiencing functional issues with her vehicle? Depending on the context, you might be doing what you’re accusing her of doing by focusing on how it affected you rather than why she might have done it.
Not that it’s impossible that she was just being selfish or unaware, but that “for some unknown reason” stood out to me.
Maybe she noticed the brake is not working properly and decided to not risk it. Maybe her car didn’t move when she pressed the accelerator. Maybe she couldn’t get into gear when driving a manual. Maybe the steering wheel locked up.
I think there might be about a thousand issues why someone puts on hazards and can’t move the car (safely) anymore.
Or even a “less good” reason that she didn’t understand well enough to know it’s not a “just park it in the middle of an intersection” kind of situation, like her check engine light came on.
I once had a car stop working while waiting at a stoplight. Light turns green, press gas pedal, nothing. In a panic, I just keyed it off and started it again, and luckily that did the trick. I don’t think I would have had the sense at the time to use hazards if that hadn’t worked.

Functional issues with her vehicle?! What, did the front fall off?
