This statement is kinda laughable.
Were his headlights not working?


It's not laughable at all. Even with headlights, it is often difficult to see dark object on the side of the road at night. This is particularly true if it is an older vehicle with older headlights. Animals get hit all the time standing in the road at night.

I’ve driven shitty older vehicles before. I wouldn’t have any trouble seeing a biker on that straight stretch of road in the dark with those headlights. There’s no curve. You shouldn’t miss a normal size human on a bike in front of you.

Animals are erratic and likely weren’t just standing there. They dart into the road at night and that’s how they get hit.
