Investigators are still probing the reason behind the crash, with further information to be shared once it’s obtainable. We offer our deepest sympathies to the family of the deceased. Why Early Morning Pedestrian Crashes Are More Dangerous. Pedestrian accidents in the early morning can be particularly serious because of poor visibility. Diminished lighting can make it more difficult for drivers to spot people on or near the road. Traffic patterns during that time of day can also increase the risk.
