Morning collisions can present unique challenges for both drivers and pedestrians. At dawn, low light, shadows, and potential sun glare can affect visibility. Investigators commonly evaluate lighting conditions, roadway design, traffic control devices, and driver behavior to understand the sequence of events. While these factors can be relevant, they do not, by themselves, determine legal responsibility; liability is based on specific evidence and applicable California law.
