I'm ambivalent about that.

It's one of those words whose meaning has changed in a context. Like trying to take back the word senile to mean "old age".

Generally people take accident to mean a "collision", whether intentional or not. Negligent or not.

Perhaps, but I think it's good when major publications use what influence they have to favor precise, accurate language over ambiguous euphemisms.
