No it doesn't. 'Accident' distinguishes between something deliberate and something that wasn't.
A car (sorry, a driver) pulling out of a junction is a deliberate action, but if there happens to be a cyclist coming that the driver hasn't seen then the outcome is accidental. Also, just because something is described as an accident doesn't mean blame can't be apportioned.
