The pilot will be found absolutely blameless.
FAR part 91, subpart B, § 91.113 Right-of-way rules:
Aircraft, while on final approach to land or while landing, have the right-of-way over other aircraft in flight or operating on the surface.
The airport operator, not so:
FAR part 139, subpart D, § 139.329 Pedestrians and ground vehicles:
In a manner authorized by the Administrator, each certificate holder must—
(a) Limit access to movement areas and safety areas only to those pedestrians and ground vehicles necessary for airport operations;
(b) Establish and implement procedures for the safe and orderly access to, and operation in, movement areas and safety areas by pedestrians and ground vehicles, including provisions identifying the consequences of noncompliance with the procedures by an employee, tenant, or contractor;
The driver of the SUV should also have her ass sued off for negligence. "I didn't see it" isn't an excuse if a cyclist bounces off your bonnet, it certainly isn't if a plane does so.
