Actually, they're not.  Haven't been for about ten years or so.  It's
hard to find, but NHTSA asked people to stop using the word "accident"
because it was not appropriate.

There is no such thing as an "accident".  Almost any motor vehicle
crash has a clear, identifiable (and usually preventable) cause.

To quote Unka Bill from Watkins Glen:  "If an asteroid hits your car
and you crash, that's an accident.  ANYTHING else is driver error."
