A "bike accident" is when you forget to unclip at a stoplight and fall over.

We launched #crashnotaccident in 2015 to convince newscasters and government officials to swear off the word “accident.” I’m thrilled to learn it’s reached the federal level.

Thank you, KTVU, for being one of the few news outlets to not use the term "accident" in describing the fatal crash in RWC. When drivers race and are potentially charged with manslaughter, it certainly isn't an "accident." Keep on using #crashnotaccident

Thank you, Justin Campbell and KRON4 News for being one of the few media outlets not to use the term "accident" in describing the fatal crash in RWC. Racing cars on city streets and crashing is not an accident, especially when manslaughter charges are pending. #crashnotaccident

Thank you, Climate Online, for using the term #crashnotaccident in reporting on the recent tragedy in RWC. Please don't forget to also provide some context - how many die from traffic violence in RWC? Is ECR safe?

Thank you @SierraJLopez and San Mateo Daily Journal for using #crashnotaccident in covering the recent tragedy in RWC. Could we also get some broader context? How many die due to traffic violence in SM County? Do residents think ECR is safe? What is RWC doing to prevent repeats???

And if you kill or injure someone with a car it is an accident. NOT! #crashnotaccident #crashprevention #stopthesechoices

A driver kills a pedestrian and then flees. TTWN SF Bay Area calls it an "accident." How about some compassion for the victims instead of assuming what happened? Report the facts, not assumptions. #crashnotaccident
