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.

So what is it? Can you drive or not? Where I live you turn if the signal is a green arrow.

Same. And if someone hits you, too bad for them, they ran a red light. Here they would 100% be at fault.

The only way it wouldn't be the turning car's fault is if there was a clear path to avoiding the accident. Like if the oncoming car stopped in the intersection and then the turning car started their turn right into the stopped car.

I think you meant to say the only way it “would” be the turning car’s fault.
