Accident is the term we use for a mode of transportation that causes over 38,000 deaths per year in the US, one death every second somewhere in the world.
"
The primary meaning of the word accident is that it was not intended or planned. That means there is no one to blame. In the case of a car “accident,” calling it an accident may mean you are letting someone off the hook for blame."

We don't ever consider aircraft incidences as accidents even though it is the safest mode of transportation in the world. Incidences involve hundreds and hundreds of hours of investigations usually resulting in new regulations and improved standards.
Why is bad driving an acceptable norm? Drivers (except under DUI and suspended licences) who cause the death of pedestrians and cyclists are usually released without charges at most fined.
