10 ft away...in a bush? 10 ft away....in a depression? Just because someone is 10 ft away at night doesn't mean you will see them, especially if they're wearing dark clothes. Also, it sounds like the vehicle was off the main road in a ditch....emergency vehicles aren't going to be able to illuminate a ditch that well, so you'd probably be depending on handheld lights. Bottomline, visibility during daylight makes a huge difference in SAR.
