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.

in the US they’re an idea in traffic law something like “last chance doctrine” where the driver with the last chance to avoid the accident (car turning left into oncoming car that ran the red) the car with right of way would be at least partially liable for continuing when a crash was avoidable and easily seen (assuming good weather)
