Just because you have right of way does not allow you to murder someone.

Murder? This was not a premeditated killing. It was an accident that everyone involved certainly wishes did not happen.
Although, you might be able to argue for involuntary manslaughter but I'm no expert.

I’m not sure about Arizona, but murder in common law doesn’t require intent, only that a reasonable person could have predicted the action would lead to someone’s death.

I know you're using hyperbole, but murder does imply a pre-determined intent to kill. At worst this is involuntary manslaughter.
