At 2:00 a.m., it's possible that a stationary vehicle simply wouldn't be visible enough to avoid. But that's only in very specific situations. Was the driver just stopped for traffic? Did they have a mechanical issue, but their lights were on? Did other drivers have no issue seeing and avoiding the victim prior to the truck hitting it?

I always think back to cases like one I had recently where we found out a collision much like this one occurred because a driver was watching shows on their tablet. They tried to blame the crash on it being too dark, but the evidence was clear. What will the evidence say here, and are proper steps being taken to get it?
