It'd likely end up as a 50/50 accident (keep in mind I'm no insurance adjuster). The vehicle turning left shouldn't have...but did. He'd have made the turn except the car in the far right sped up, forcing the van to stop. Our "hero" is speeding up quite a bit too, you can hear his engine revving as he guns it after the truck moves out of his way. At that point, he's going too fast for conditions, so when the suv stops in front of him, he is unable to react quickly enough to prevent the collision.
As the SUV was allowed to go (the driver figured he had enough time to make it, and would have if the car in the left hand lane woudn't have sped up) he did his due diligence when entering a roadway.
So it'd likely have ended up being a 50/50 accident. But with insurance, who knows. But you look at our hero, and his accelerating caused his part of the accident. By the time he realized he needed to stop, he wasn't able to.
