Are you for real?
Yes, I am for real, can you explain the purpose of the question. That was my guess as to the proximate cause of the crash.
Can you perhaps explain why you seem to take such great exception to this explanation? Have you not seen drivers make a right turn while looking down at their phones, or left at traffic?
I see this all the time as a pedestrian, I frequently have to shout at drivers to get their attention. So yes, I am "for real" suggesting the drive may not have been paying attention to someone (on any mode) coming out of the crosswalk.
This would by why a police officer may perhaps not necessarily choose to ticket the cyclist.
