I just see the biker as ultimately responsible for the whole situation. Every day when people drive, they have to make decisions on when to cross traffic. You really only have a second or 2 to decide a lot of the time or you miss your opening. As Polak pointed out, that time frame was radically diminished due to the speed of the biker. The biker took what should have been a normal traffic situation and turned it into something perilous. Sure, I can concede that the driver made an error, but the driver should never have been put in that position by the biker to begin with.
