If it wasn’t on purpose it was an accident.
Thank you for the language used in reporting this crash. Too often, a headline says “person” hit by “car.” There are people on both sides–the pedestrian (or bicycle rider) and the motorist (or driver.) And, good to remember, they’re involved in a crash, not an accident.
