Since we are talking hypothetical here (as the OP was discussing dump trucks) then the cyclist would be at fault for not heeding said signal.
However, this may be more of a case of right hook (as you mentioned earlier).
But without knowing exactly the situation of whether the truck went past the cyclist and then made their turn or whether the truck properly signaled and the cyclist failed to heed the signal, it is difficult to place blame on either.
Further, since a cyclist even in WOL is going to be riding in the exact same place as they would in a BL... the stripe cannot be considered to be the cause of the accident in this situation.
Bottom line, there is too little information for US to properly determine fault... But the police officer on scene had at least the statements from the eyewitnesses.
