You're living in the past century, mate.  Look at the DfT website,
RAGB is now RCGB, the word "accident" is deprecated as so many of
them turn out to be the result of negligence at some level.

Collision is the usual word these days.

It's still an accident, unless there is proof that the collision was 
caused deliberately - the 'Selby' high-speed derailment was still an 
accident even though the cause was negligence, OTOH, Ufton Nervet 
collision was a deliberate act caused by Brian Drysdale committing 
suicide and had he survived his injuries (and stood trail he would 
have been charged with murder I suspect).

Negligence doesn't equal a deliberate act.
