I think we need to change our language a bit and stop referring to crashes as accidents. Crashes are common. Accidents are exceptionally rare. While "accident" is a statement of intent, and outside of extreme road rage scenarios, nobody intends to cause a crash, people do deliberately create dangerous situations that lead to crashes. You might not have intended to rear-end somebody, but you did choose to text while driving. You might not have intended to side-swipe somebody, but you did choose to not check your blind spot before changing lanes. The word "accident" implies a mistake that you couldn't see coming. But when someone chooses to create the dangerous situation, it's no longer an accident, because the situation could have been avoided entirely.
