If she had NVG's, she probably wouldn't crash because one the big advantage is, you see the weather
So, if there is a shower, you see it, you see the size, the intensity. It is easy in this case to go around and avoid it.
Looking at the map....the crash site is in the middle of a very dark area
Only if there is some ambient light. NVGs take in ambient light and magnify it. An overcast night, no moon, no streetlights/houselights to reflect off the clouds equals no light, so nothing too magnify, so you can see nothing.
