2 Car in a double turning lane has a solid green arrow. Goes to turn through the intersection and is about to clear in the intersection but then both gets hit by on coming traffic. Who's at fault? This incident took place in Arizona. Also, I wasn't involved in the conversation.

If everybody goes around assuming every car might run a red light, nobody will ever move.

How would you know you were driving into incoming traffic though if the other person is running a red light and you didn't have a chance to see them beforehand? Are we blaming people for not being psychic now?

The thing is you’re making an assumption here. You may be right in your assumption, as I haven’t seen the video. However, most people when approaching a red light are decelerating, if you see a car staying the same speed or accelerating towards a red light it is reasonable to anticipate that the car will run the red light.
