Uh, that is not the connotation that anyone has when they hear "car accident". Otherwise it wouldn't make sense to say, "Whose fault was the car accident?"
Accident just means it wasn't intentional. I think very, very few "vehicular collisions" are intentional.
Not that it matters. This Orwellian shit rarely flies with the general population, anyway. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to have a Rose of the Prophet Mohammed and some Freedom Fries.
