It was still her fault, low sun or not. But to err is human. The take home lesson from this should be that when visibility is poor for one reason or another, you should always assume the worst.

Yes, legally the paperwork will probably find her 'guilty', but indeed, it's so easy to assume anything... When in doubt take some extra time is probably the best thing to do :-/
I know people make mistakes. But as you should be very acutely aware of at this time, no amount of emoting will do any good if none of you involved in this do not try and learn the only lesson worth learning from this. When conditions are bad, you must be extra careful so as to avoid risking your own or somebody else's life.
In Dutch we have this saying 'an accident can fit in a small corner'... Seems appropriate today. But indeed. Learn and be humble. Never take anything for granted. Be more careful than you think you need to be.
Well put. The lady should and will calm down in time. Hopefully, she will think about what she could've done differently and can do differently under similar conditions. I have made one such mistake when I was tired. The lesson I learned: don't drive when tired but if you must, take every reasonable precaution to be safe. In that situation nobody injured. Just €15k or so worth of damage my insurance company covered.
I'm sorry to hear you had to go through that, but good to hear it caused no human injury. Yes, I hope she will learn something from it, she definitely has felt the shock, but to create/learn a lesson is something else. Let's hope so. I'm curious to see what driverless cars will chance for us in the coming 20 years or so. I hear good things, but software learns from humans so it's also never perfect :-) Every life saved is one though!
