Numerous reasons? Name five, other than:

- improperly maintained equipment
- improperly trained driver
- failure of the driver to handle their car properly given the present situations

The only one I can think of is some type of unavoidable outside influence
- a deer runs through your windshield


Ice, rain, sharp turn, kid was screaming, none of those are acceptable reasons for me.

Obviously the public doesn't agree with me. That's obvious from their inability to use a word other than "accident" to describe a car crash - that is almost exclusively caused by a failure to operate the vehicle in a competent manner.
