    It depends on what you mean by “on purpose.” You didn’t mean to hit that light pole, but there was a lot of intentionality around the decision to drive and the decision to build a car-based society that is very much “on purpose” and the effect of that is deaths due to cars.

      I mean with malice aforethought by a particular person. Foreseeable or unnecessary accidents are still accidents.
