I am on the road about that time every morning here on the East side (where the sun doesn't have to get past Mauna Loa), and I can state for a fact there is no way the sun is in anyone's eyes at that time, this time of the year. Right now it is 6 AM and pitch dark, by 6:15 there is a little light, but official sunrise is 6:39 this morning. If the accident was called in right away it would have been 6:20 at the latest, and probably overcast as well, with the weather we are having.
I think the police need to bring in an outside agency to investigate this, because the statements they've already made seriously undermine any faith in an impartial investigation. The operator of a vehicle is supposed to have their vehicle under control and be aware of their surroundings, to hit someone from behind while ascending that steep hill requires a pretty high level of inattention.
