Not sure what the law is in your state, but here in Georgia, its
perfectly legal to cross the double yellow line to pass obstructions in
your lane, such as a stalled or stopped car, after yielding to oncoming
traffic and if conditions allow safe execution. So, unless this was in
the middle of a blind curve, you would have been all right.
