Yeah but when you cross the street you generally keep an eye out for traffic, and the sight-line is such that if the car had headlights on it should have been visible for more than 6 seconds before the collision. The victim might well have expected the car to yield somewhat. However, I don't know if the car did have any external lights on, so it might have been hard to see until it was closer than 6 seconds away.
