Blinding sun glare hides pedestrian on road

Scary moment for this driver when he experienced a good amount of sun glare while headed west during sunset. Driver was cautious when seeing the sun glare but was totally surprised when all of a sudden there was an unexpected pedestrian right in front of him and right in the road. The pedestrian was also walking against traffic and pushing a trash container on wheels. The driver quickly swerves to avoid hitting him and then continues on his way.
You can also see in rear camera footage that two other cars quickly swerved to avoid the can pushing pedestrian. There is no telling where this person came from or where he was headed. Usually it is advised to walk against traffic so that you will be aware of oncoming cars but in this case it could have ended badly.
