If I understand correctly this left turn is more like a typical right turn.
There is plenty of line of sight to see and react to parked van as seen in the video at ~0:15s mark.
I also find it curious the cyclist did not post the video footage of approaching the van from the turn, but instead started showing it after adjacent to van, probably it would show clearly there was no safety issue.
