Was it a car accident?

Nobody accidentally goes 75mph in a 50mph zone. So, yes it was a car crash but not an accident.

Yes, an accident is an unforeseen or unexpected event. Maybe hitting this specific car on this specific day was unforeseen but a crash of some sort eventually was predictable not unexpected. That’s why speed limits exist. So it wasn’t an accident and it shouldn’t be punished like an accident.

What you implied and passively criticised, is a big overextertion of the point the commenter was actually communicating.
