It appears that it was a single pilot operation and his decision to attempt the approach was foolish in light of his probability of being fatigued, the weather conditions and the unavailability of airport runway lighting. All he had to do was divert to Palm Springs or Ontario and wait for the marine layer to burn off.
It used to drive me nuts to arrive at the scene of a weather related aircraft crash to a clear blue sky and calm conditions.
