Obviously I hate reading stuff like this, but @brmcc.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy is one of the best at #CrashNotAccident framing. More local journalists need to follow his example. #VisionZero

We need traffic Engineers to stop prioritizing the performance of a hypothetical traffic model over repeated actual results of their street design standards where drivers speed and kill people. #crashNotAccident kezi.com/news/local/witnesses-report-speeding-in-fatal-eugene-crash-near-campus-police-say/article_f4d54f37-cd8a-4314-bf79-cef5ebe24568.html

#crashNotAccident but can we get the lawyers to agree on common "wear a helmet" warnings don't belong in product-specific text?

Thats why there was such a push for crash not accident the past few years

#CrashNotAccident

> over the past 10 years, hundreds of school crossing guards — many of them of retirement age or older -- have suffered injuries on the job after being hit by [sic *with*] a vehicle, and dozens of them have died.

> No federal agencies and just two states track ... And local police accident [sic #crashNotAccident] reports often have no code to distinguish ...

102nd, Glisan, 122nd Ave. Known for being deadly streets. Three unarmored people killed with cars in one night. These are #crashNotAccident #trafficEngineering Design Failure, #ZeroVision.

This @nbcwashington.com story uses best practices for reporting on traffic crashes.💐 - Avoid the word "accident" ( #CrashNotAccident ) - Highlight the human element of crashes ( #DriverNotCar ) - Avoid victim blaming - Avoid speculation - Provide context www.vitalstrategies.org/wp-content/u...

1. AVOID USING THE WORD “ACCIDENT”¹
Road traffic crashes, injuries and deaths are preventable. Using the word “accident” conveys an undue sense of inevitability
and leads the audience to interpret these events as unavoidable or the result of “bad luck” or “destiny.” Use road crash or
collision instead.
2. HIGHLIGHT THE HUMAN ELEMENT OF CRASHES²
Headlines focused on the object (vehicles), rather than the subjects (people) are common in road crash reporting. This
leaves out people and their actions from the story of the crash, distancing the readers from the situation. By humanizing the
event through language that speaks about people—and not lifeless vehicles—we acknowledge the responsibility of people
on the road. For example, a headline that reads “Cyclist dies after being hit by a truck driver,” is more relatable to readers,
who are often themselves drivers, than the headline “Cyclist dies after being hit by a truck.” The latter would be equivalent
to a headline that says, for example, “Bullet kills shopkeeper during robbery” instead of “Gunman kills shopkeeper during
robbery.”
3. AVOID VICTIM BLAMING¹
Studies on media coverage of road safety have found that when pedestrians or cyclists are injured or die in a road crash, re-
sponsibility for the crash is often attributed to the victims and not to the drivers. By focusing the discourse on the victims
and their actions (whether or not they used a pedestrian crossing, for example) we de-emphasize the responsibility that
govern

"Kind vor Schule in Berlin angefahren: Eltern hatten vor Unfallgefahr gewarnt – doch Senat wollte Verkehr „flüssig halten“
Seit der A100-Eröffnung sind vor einer Schule in Friedrichshain mehr Autos unterwegs. Eltern hatten vor der Kreuzung gewarnt – die Verkehrsverwaltung sah keine Gefahr."

The excellent @pluralistic highlighted this Wired article from 2015 regarding car “accidents”. The author’s story mirrors our own loss of our three year old daughter playing in front of our house in 2012. There needs to be greater accountability for people using automobiles.

"Die Verkehrsverwaltung sieht in dem Umstand hingegen kein Problem. Schließlich sei es bei der Überprüfung darum gegangen, die Straßenabschnitte auf vielgenutzte Schulwege hin zu untersuchen.

„In die Kita gehen die Kinder nicht allein. Die Eltern sind dazu verpflichtet, sie dorthin zu bringen. Ein Schulweg ist etwas anderes“, sagte die Sprecherin der Verkehrsverwaltung Petra Nelken."

Rare that the #CrashNotAccident hashtag isn't needed. Still too much passive voice. Hope the bicyclists recovers and doesn't have to deal with too many financial setbacks.

"Das alles deckt sich auch mit den Eindrücken aus der Praxis: "Es ist wirklich mehr geworden an Delikten", sagt Oberkommissar B.. "Das stellen wir auch bei den Kontrollen definitiv fest."

Verkehrsforscher Andreas Knie vom Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin zeigt sich nicht verwundert über den Anstieg der festgestellten Verstöße: "Wir haben hier eine zurückgehende Zivilisierung im Verkehr", sagt er"
