I'm almost surprised it doesn't happen more often there. This does seem like the time of day it would happen, in the morning twilight so the pilot can still see a bit and doesn't need to use the airport lighting for setting himself up. They are very lucky that no one else was on the taxi-way at the time.
This is the airport diagram if interested,
