1. As reported he hasn't had any motorcycle related violations. In fact, they went all the way back to 2002...

2. He may have been doing wheelies BEFORE the accident but no one is accusing him of doing them during the accident.

3. Perhaps if the lady had been wearing her seat belt... just saying.

4. "Alcohol is a factor" but not necessarily for the rider.

5. Who's to say that this lady didn't turn right in front of this guy?

In fact maybe she was drunk and driving super slow, causing a back up. This dude gets impatient and attempts to pass too many cars and the drunk chick decides to make that left turn she's been thinking about for a 1/2 mile...

I was kind of thinking along the same lines. If he hit the driver side and she was turning left, then he was passing her (or other cars + her). How fast was he going to make the pass? I can't tell from the picture, but is that an area where he can safely pass, or was he crossing a solid yellow to pass? Too many factors to know for sure...
