After comparing the released video and a nighttime video [1] on the same stretch of road, I think the released video very likely showed a lot less visibility of the victim due to the dynamic range of the camera. In [2] the victim's shoes became visible. Note the lamp post with a traffic sign to the right. In [3] captured from [1] note the same lamp post on the right edge and the storm drains on the curb, not far from the lamp post and not that dark. [4] shows the victim was very close to the storm drains. The camera that captured the released video had to adjust to the bright headlight of the vehicle. IMO the victim would be a lot more visible to a human driver.
