Accidents in general [1] and car accidents in particular [2] are more common for people with ADHD. The part you're missing is that the stimulant medication _improves_ the situation.

In male ADHD patients, ADHD medication was associated with a 58% risk reduction [....] Estimates of the population attributable fractions suggested that 41% – 49% of the accidents in male patients with ADHD could have been avoided if they had been on treatment the entire follow-up.
