Or possibly the driver made a bad choice and didn't see you in the intersection when he began his turn onto Pinellas Place.
Or possibly, the driver was waiting in the intersection to make a left turn as his light changed to red which, as discussed in other threads, is appropriate in Florida. And maybe as he was making his legal turn the crosswalk light turned green. Seeing a green crosswalk signal you entered the crosswalk without first checking to see if there was oncoming traffic.
Clearly, there is no way for us to know what happened just as there is no way for you to know what was in the mind of the driver.
Fortunately, no one was harmed.

You were not there. I was. I know the intent, you do not. All motor vehicles must yield to pedestrians. Cyclists are pedestrians in crosswalks.
You do not understand this. Please turn in your driver's license for the safety of every pedestrian, you are a danger to all of us.
