An '''accident''' is an unintended event, often (but not always) with harmful results. The opposite of an accident is a planned, deliberate act.
==Transport Accidents==
With respect to transport, an accident is a collision between a vehicle and a person or another vehicle. About 48,000 Americans are killed each year in car accidents. [[Air travel]] is much safer, with only about a hundred fatalities per year on average (most years there are no [[airliner]] crashes).
==Accidents and the religious life==
{{quotebox|We can't pray ... "Please God, prevent an accident from happening to me." Rather pray "Please lead me in your will." We do have accidents. Maybe that's [[God|His]] will, and as a result of that we gain a different level, a higher level. We are bound to get to a higher level if our mind is basically good. Who knows what will happen in the future? If something happens, everyone may agree it is a tragedy. But there are two ways for us: either complain, or continue on contemplating what chance this offers me. Who is the wise person, the sagacious person? The wise person does not complain. - Rev. [[Sun Myung Moon]], ''In Yun and Encounter'' [http://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/sunmyungmoon90/901104.htm]}}
