"accidentally" ... would that be a crime?
Let me preface my comment by saying I think driving over stuff is a bad idea.
However, as an example of culpability for illegal actions:
Many years ago an ex neglected to renew her drivers license. When on the highway eight days after it expired she stopped for a left turn, blinker on, brake lights working, when a drunk plowed into her from behind, at full speed. Witnesses reported to the police officer he never touched his brakes. My ex was arrested and jailed because without a valid license she never should have been driving in the first place. The drunk had a valid license. The accident was her fault.
Qualifications: this was on the mainland, my ex, the drunk, and the police officer were all “residents.” No one was “host culture” or “guest culture.”
