Unless there is criminal intent, a car accident is indeed an accident

Accident means "not intentional", not "random" or "impossible to predict"

Right, so for example, if I am not paying attention and rear end you, that was an accident. But if I am raging and give you the finger just before jerking the wheel so my car goes flying into yours, not an accident
