We came past this accident minutes after it happened. We were coming west on 466a from Colony.
One contributing factor could easily have been the sun, in the west bound driver's eyes. At that precise time, it was at an angle that made it VERY difficult to see any on-coming traffic. As we CAREFULLY made our left turn to go South on Morse, the sun angle was directly in our eyes. But with time taken, we could see it was clear.
This is NOT meant to be an excuse for the accident. If you can't see clear enough to determine it is clear, then don't proceed.
Just wanted to add another possible contributor to the accident.
