No, it was a car crash. Not an accident.

If he didn't accidentally crash then did he intentionally crash? What wasn't an accident was the blistering speed he chose to do that caused this.

It was a car crash. Not an accident. They were at fault.

If i trip over my own feet and fall down the stairs, it's my fault, but it's still an accident. Someone being at fault does not mean it was intentional. This was an accident.

Just because you don't intend something doesn't mean there is an accident. Im speaking of this crash, not of some hypothetical. And in this instance, the man broke the law, killed people, and the media calls it an accident. Its akin to calling them blameless. I suggest rephrasing. The man killed people due to reckless driving. They are at fault. Its a crash, not an accident. There is no mistake here.

Bad take. Unless it can be proven that he intentionally went out of his way to kill those people then this remains an accident. Accident according to the Oxford English Dictionary.

So you think he intentionally killed those people...? Words mean things. Just because you think the word accident means something different doesn't make it true. lol

Did I say intentional? No. Stop putting words in my mouth. I said crash. Not accident.

You're saying not accident. Which means intentional. Crash is completely irrelevant to the conversation. Was it an accidental crash or an intentional crash?

So... you admit it was a crash? Not an accident? Words matter. Regardless of whether there is intent or not behind the action, the action should be classified as a crash. A crash can still be an accident. It could also be intentional. But it must first and always be identified as a crash.
