As I seem to recall from experience,your vehicle will initially continue in the original direction of travel for some distance until the steering wheel command has been transmitted to the wheels. It isn't a matter of time lag in the steering system. Steering response is usually close to instant. The delay comes from inertia. The more mass, the greater the velocity, the more inertia the front wheels need to overcome to change the direction of the car. As the car in this case was barely moving, there is relatively little inertia to overcome, in spite of the mass of an SUV.
Here's a good demonstration of car inertia. Watch the wheels turn, before the car responds. Of course, the car in the incident was not going anywhere near the speed of the cars in this demonstration.
