An accident would be that you are walking along the footpath minding your own business and the wheel from a truck travelling in the opposite direction 400 meters and 6 lanes away has a wheel that separates from the vehicle just at that time and it just happens to take you out.

Agreed. I know a few Ambo's and all agree that they don't attend many accidents, but go to a lot of crashes.
