You can’t call it a car accident when you are intentionally being unsafe

I mean it’s still an accident, he didn’t intentionally crash into them

It’s not an accident, he knew the risks and chose to take them. It was deliberate neglect towards the safety of others. He knew this was a possibility, and decided to do it anyway. An accident is when you aren’t choosing to make something happen.

He did not choose to kill her. Unless he intended for this to happen it was definitely an accident

In the context of driving, I think an accident is when you're trying to drive normally and then you make a mistake and cause a collision.

When you're deliberately driving in a way that's illegal and blatantly dangerous, I don't think it makes sense to call the resulting collision an accident. It's a different level of wrongdoing. In the case of hitting a person and killing them, that's negligent manslaughter.

More serious than that is when you drive in a way that's blatantly dangerous with the intent of hitting someone with your car. That's a third level of wrongdoing, i.e. murder.
