Well
A. the lot is private property so the crosswalk is really window dressing. Basic parking lot etiquette says you always yield to pedestrians in the loading zone. Thats (and the slow speeds) why parking lots have very low collision rates compared to streets.

B. Even if the crosswalk was legally there (meaning its a public road and the crosswalk was painted by MDOT) you still have the uncontrolled intersection which is basically says that there is an invisible crosswalk at every intersection.

So I'd say mostly bad driver for not understanding that you cross the parking lot wherever you wish.
