Yes, but you could apply that reasoning to a coffee mug incident too. It would still be unusual to say "I was involved in a coffee mug containment breach" rather than "I dropped my coffee mug" or "The cat pushed my coffee mug off the table".
It's a sign of motornormativity that we use different language for road traffic collisions as they have become so commonplace that they rarely even make the news. Everyone knows what a "car crash" is, but a "coffee mug crash" is not in common usage.
