I got the feeling from the article that the impatient driver didn't kill the chicken on purpose but rather accidentally, but the article doesn't really give enough info about that

    Framing things as accidents exonerate the type of neglect that has lethal consequences. It's time to retire the term in the context of traffic violence.

    I just feel like it means that it wasn't on purpose

    At some point there’s a line though where it’s not an accident but a certainty, and only a matter of time.

    Same reason pointing a gun at people is generally frowned upon.
