Yes, of course, unless someone deliberately crashed, it was unintentional. That doesn't mean nothing wrong happened. Likely multiple preventable or fixable issues happened that led to said accident.
Governments know how to design roads to prevent crashes and slow down drivers in areas where there is speeding. Is a crash on a known unsafe road an accident?

> unless someone deliberately crashed
That's the disagreement. There are many drivers on the road that I would assert, when their behavior does finally inevitably land them into a wreck, did so deliberately. Now, I am sure that if you ask them, they would claim that they did not "intend" to get into an accident, but the utterly reckless behavior with which some people choose to operate a ton of steel hurtling down the road at 60+ mph sings a very, very different tune.
(Now, I'd also accept just a simple "car wreck" or "collision", as suggested by a sibling, which doesn't assume that there was wrong doing, at least, unless the facts suggest otherwise.)
