Yep; it's usually reported like: "a man was injured as his car left the
road and carreened through a shopping mall". Poor ******* just happened
to be in the driver's seat when this inevitable event happened.


the word *"accident"* is the greatest codswollop spin for any motorised
cage occupied by a human crunching anything or anyone...


Accident :

1.
1. An unexpected and undesirable event, especially one
resulting in damage or harm: car accidents on icy roads.
2. An unforeseen incident: A series of happy accidents led to
his promotion.
3. An instance of involuntary urination or defecation in one's
clothing.
2. Lack of intention; chance: ran into an old friend by accident.
3. Logic. A circumstance or attribute that is not essential to the
nature of something.


As long as the driver of the car did not intend to cause a collision,
it's an accident.



But if you are breaking the road rules then it is not an unexpected
event.
