Not an accident

[edit]

Calling this event an accident is an example of using weasel words. It implies the editor holds a point of view that this road traffic offending was beyond the subject's control and minimizes what is alleged to have happened. The subject of the article, having consumed an unstated amount of some form of alcoholic beverage at a place where such beverages are commonly consumed, has subsequently driven a motor-vehicle on an interstate highway in the wrong direction and presumably collided with an oncoming vehicle whose occupants have died as a result of the impact. Police have decided that the subject behaved in a negligent manner causing the deaths of two people. This is a vehicle collision or a crash or fatal impact or any number of other neutral words that can be used to describe what happens when two vehicles travelling in different directions attempt to occupy the same space on the road at the same time. It is not an accident because this was not a chance occurrence that nobody could predict. Rules (plural) were broken and people died as a result. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 07:59, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense to me; made the change. W.stanovsky (talk) 14:43, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
