Looking at the Google street view of that junction the cycle lane is a great example of terrible infrastructure, placing the cyclist hard up against the give-way lines in the sort of position where drivers might not look or register anything as they sweep their head and making this sort of collision more likely. Even allowing for the fact that the lane's presence should make drivers more cautious.
Once past the junction the lane disappears forcing cyclists back out in to the lane just a few yards before a pinch point.
