I saw a picture yesterday where somebody went to the scene and took a handheld picture with their phone in HDR mode so show more closely what a human eye would have seen.
This is that photo. You can see multiple shadows of the photographer, not using a tripod.
I think that video footage is not terribly accurate at showing what a human would see. Much darker. The road is divided with vegetation in the middle, so there were no headlights of oncoming traffic blinding a driver. I think a human would have seen the woman much earlier than it seems in the video.
The woman was jaywalking at night in front of a car, but I think I would have seen her based on the phone camera photo.
