Based on the very limited information available on this accident, it is very difficult to determine if the driver of the vehicle may be at fault.  For instance, did the dirt bike have working reflectors of a headlight that should have alerted the driver that the dirt bike was in the road.  Hopefully, investigators will be able to determine whether these factors played a role in this accident.
