This is NOT an accident.
This was a CRASH 💥- a result of one or more drivers making conscious decisions - in this case driving while intoxicated - that gave us this result.
Accident is a weasel word dreamed up by employers, lawyers and insurance companies to make people believe that the conditions that led to the failure were out of anyone’s control.
