The pictures of the actual intersection are helpful. To the driver, the thing you were in looks like a crosswalk (it
is a crosswalk). I'm assuming the entrance to the crosswalk doesn't have a sign that tells cyclists to walk their bikes in the crosswalk. If the X is accurate, it looks like the driver was cutting the corner.
Note that the driver had a stop sign. Was it daytime, twilight, or night when the collision happened?
While you might have been going faster than the driver might have expected, he should have been able to see you. I'd say it's (mostly) the driver's fault.
Keep in mind that it's important for you to be aware that cars might do what this car did and that it is, at least, prudent to act accordingly.
