The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration has ceased calling events such as this 'accidents'. The official term is 'crashes'. This is about the one and only useful government action taken by the Clinton Administration.
Interesting, maybe they came to the same conclusion I did, only mine was years ago. I got tired of reading the headlines, “Snowstorm causes numerous accidents”. It should read, “Local dunderheads (or suitable substitute) engage in destruction derby caused by horrible hand eye coordination, and bad driving skills”. All at fault, had their driving privileges revoked.
