What about when you drink and drive or speed, or drive too fast for conditions? How is that unintentional when the action you take is intentional?
Otherwise, you're seriously giving an escape hatch to say, drunk driving, because "Hey I was just carelessly driving. It was just an accident. I didn't intend to cause harm, damage, or loss when I drank all of that alcohol and accident my car into someone else. 'Whoops'"
Anyway, let's say these are all accidents. Ok. We can also still call them car crashes and wrecks and that would be more accurate because these terms don't assume intention but merely describe what has taken place.
