In Massachusetts, generally you're not prosecuted for a car accident, that's called a car accident, there may be a civil case. However, if you were driving negligiently or driving dangerously, so as to endanger other people, that's a crime. And if that driving to endanger led to the vehicular assault, or say you were drunk, and that led to the vehicular assault, even though the striking of the other individual was not exactly intentional, you can be prosecuted and you can be convicted for that vehicular assault to say nothing of the fact that maybe it is an accident, but the prosecution doesn't believe it's an accident and so the case goes to trial and if they convince the jury beyond a reasonable doubt...guilty.
