The law.

The only way the two cars would collide is if one or both veered into the
other lane during the turn. Completing a 90 degree turn without using any
of the other lane is a skill few drivers have.

So IMO the at-fault driver would be the one who veered into the other lane.
The exception would be a semi-tractor pulling a long or wide load; the other
driver is supposed to give way in that case. Few do--MFFY again and more's
the pity.
