Visibility is fine. One normally doesn't expect a SUV to be crossing the threshold when one is landing.

The problem here is the SUV that really shouldn't have been crossing that path as the pilot was landing, and a very new student pilot who lacked the necessary judgement to fly a higher glide path, and to account for the vehicle. That vehicle would have been easily visible in the cockpit until it was actually in front of the aircraft.

Lesson learned.
