Perhaps you wish to distinguish between "passed" and "got past." To pass someone or something, as in "We passed an accident on our way here" means simply to go by or to overtake. To get past something or someone implies that it took some effort or struggle to do so, as in We had to get past an accident that was blocking the road.
