A man died Tuesday in Mesa when he stopped in the fast lane to make a left hand turn and was struck by a vehicle that was trying to avoid colliding with him. Police said William Lieberman, 78, was pronounced dead on the scene after a crash just before 8 a.m. where a vehicle struck his driver’s side. Authorities said Lieberman’s vehicle was making a turn southbound onto N. 88th Street from University Drive, but was using the fast lane instead of the two-way left turn lane. Because of this, two vehicles maneuvered to avoid colliding, but one vehicle struck another and pushed it into Lieberman’s car, police said. Lieberman was pronounced dead at the scene, another driver was flown to Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn with serious injuries and a third driver was not injured.
