An accidental ground is the extra path for a current to flow. If a tree touches the high voltage line, it provides a connection to the ground and may allow for a shock current through a person.

Why is a complete path required for the current to flow?

If there is no complete path, excess electrons will very quickly build up at some place, and repel further electrons - no more current will thus flow.
