Yes, one thing I learned working wih NHTSA and some university experts in collision type and statistics, is to change to the word "collision." It does not implicitly withhold blame or confer innocence. "Crash" suggests all that matters is that the cars contacted each other or something/someone else, not that there might be reasons which border on the criminal or which seem clearly criminal as well as immoral.

Collision means there was an incident which should be investigated.
