Lightning. It was struck by lightning. Being struck by lightening infers the sun was coming up.

Maybe not so "lucky". May have use a lightening trigger, just pointed at the top of the mountain in a thunder storm, and waited. I'm not saying the photo doesn't look good, just that the photographer may not have had to use any luck, or superhuman finger speed, to get the image.
