Also an accident implies it was not preventable, almost all car collisions could have been prevented by one or both drivers, even if it means just keeping more space or watching your surroundings more carefully.
Impact; collision; crash; accident
Collision, crash, accident. The police refer to it as an RTA (road traffic accident).
Speaking automotively, a crash is any collision between a vehicle and any other object, typically one or more vehicles, intentionally or otherwise. An accident is a colission that is purely unintentional.
When cars crash into each other, resulting in a collision, it is called a car accident.
The three stages of collision are: 1st stage - vehicle crash, 2nd stage - human crash, and 3rd stage - internal crash.
In a crash, the second collision refers to the impact that occurs when a passenger or object inside the vehicle strikes another object within the vehicle, such as the dashboard or steering wheel, after the initial collision with another vehicle or object. This secondary impact can cause additional injuries to the occupants of the vehicle.
A car crash typically refers to a collision between vehicles or an object, often resulting in damage or injury. In contrast, a car accident is a broader term that encompasses any unforeseen event involving a vehicle, which may or may not include a collision. While all crashes can be considered accidents, not all accidents involve crashes, such as a vehicle malfunction or running off the road without hitting anything. Essentially, the term "crash" is more specific, while "accident" covers a wider range of incidents.
The plural of crash is crashes.
There are two collisions in a crash. The first collision is when the vehicle strikes the object and the second when the unrestrained occupants strike the interior of the vehicle.

It should. If the "at fault" vehicle is insured, it's supposed to cover the victim's vehicle 100%. If the "at fault" vehicle has comprehensive and collision insurance that insurance is supposed to cover the at fault vehicle up to the deductable amount. Note that the drunk driver will loose his insurance and be required to get the VERY expensive DUI "insurance endorsment" since he/she is now in the highest risk bracket. BTW, when a drunk driver causes a collision it's not called an "accident". Accident is when things just happen. Driving drunk is the CAUSE of the collision and as such the collision is not called an accident. Call it a wreck, crash or just about anything else that takes away the implication of a random act.
Liability coverage in auto insurance helps pay for damages and injuries you cause to others in an accident, while collision coverage helps pay for damages to your own vehicle in a crash, regardless of fault.
