Many organisations are using different terms to describe road accident. The World Health Organization use the term road traffic injury, while others use motor vehicle accident, motor vehicle traffic collision, auto accident, car accident, car crash, car smash, car wreck, motor vehicle collision, personal injury collision, road accident, road traffic accident, road traffic collision, road traffic incident, road traffic accident, smash-up and fender bender.

Human factors in auto accidents include all factors related to drivers and other road users that may contribute to a collision. Examples include driver behaviour, visual and auditory acuity, decision-making ability, and reaction speed. Accidents may be more likely to happen when hazardous road or traffic conditions are not obvious at a glance, or where the conditions are too complicated for the limited human to perceive and react in the time and distance available.
