From the original description, the car was turning right and the bicycle was approaching from the opposite direction. Depending on what speed the bicycle was moving at, it is very possible that the crosswalk was clear when the car started to make the turn. This is the reason why bicyclists should avoid riding in crosswalks (or on sidewalks) at speeds faster than typical pedestrian speeds. If, for some reason, you must ride faster than that, then it is your responsibility to identify and yield to everyone in your path.
