Certainly.  Not everyone who drives or rides a motorcycle is  
clueless.  I ride all kinds of two wheeled vehicles, and I certainly  
give my pedaling friends a wide berth when I'm motorized!

It could be that the cyclist had a moment's inattention, and caught a  
tire in a flaw in the pavement.  I've done that myself over my  
years), and kicked out into the traffic lane a few times (luckily  
with no harm to me.)  We just don't know anything except that it is a  
sad story and that, as always, education on how to share the road is  
as necessary as it ever was.
