But the driver of the suv is also at fault in that knowing full well they are crossing next in front of a run way, simply looking to the right he could have seen the airplane approaching and avoided crossing in front of it.

I can see a student pilot making that mistake, but I certainly wouldn’t blame the driver of the SUV…
