A famous WWE guy caused a crash when going 100mph on the Merritt in a Bentley and all he got was a $1K fine. The cops and journalist sound like they were too busy drooling over the car and fan-boying out to take his dangerous behavior seriously #CrashNotAccident www.nydailynews.com/2026/02/25/v...

But for an agency whose entire mission is ostensibly protecting and serving the public--and to investigate failures of that mission that result in harm!--to pre-emptively label every hit-and-run an accident?
That's not ok. Not even kind of ok.

and sure, maybe there are situations in which the driver truly did not know they hit someone, and thus were not actually fleeing
you might be tempted to call that an accident
it's not

It's none of these, of course, but "HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT????!!!"
Pray tell, what part of hitting someone with your car and then fleeing the scene is an accident?

Language shapes car culture, so when my oldest learned on day one of drivers ed, “there are no accidents - only wrecks, crashes, and collisions,” it makes me feel change is possible. #CrashNotAccident

Obviously I hate reading stuff like this, but @brmcc.bsky.social is one of the best at #CrashNotAccident framing. More local journalists need to follow his example.

When my 2-year-old nephew pees his pants, that is an accident.
Police reports remain disgusting on car violence, but at least with this caption & various smaller papers, I am seeing a lot of #CrashNotAccident.
We may just have to wait for the 50-year-old chiefs to retire & then get a sea change.

Example of the critical thinking we need to place crash types and devices into the larger context of traffic safety. The biggest issues on our streets are the biggest things on our streets, period.

We need traffic Engineers to stop prioritizing the performance of a hypothetical traffic model over repeated actual results of their street design standards where drivers speed and kill people. #crashNotAccident […]

Pinion gearbox manual pages full of garbage I haven't read
#crashNotAccident but can we get the lawyers to agree on common "wear a helmet" warnings don't belong in product-specific text?

This @nbcwashington.com story uses best practices for reporting on traffic crashes.💐
- Avoid the word "accident" ( #CrashNotAccident )
- Highlight the human element of crashes ( #DriverNotCar )
- Avoid victim blaming
- Avoid speculation
- Provide context

Almost no collision on University Boulevard is an accident. Sometimes the cause is easy to identify (drunk driver) but there are policy decisions at all levels that impact traffic safety.
