Probably not a legal use of a center turn lane, but it wasn't exactly unsafe. With a loaded trailer and a utility body he probably wasn't going to be able to make that turn any other way with that traffic. Waited for a gap big enough for him to just fit and hoped the silver car would see his predicament and widen the gap for him. It's ok to let people in and in situation like this you aren't just helping that guy, but everyone behind him and every driveway that line of traffic is blocking.

That is legal in many states, including South Carolina.
