看看这个屯的历史，可能更有助于理解屯名。请进。。。
（来自http://www.mdmunicipal.org/cities/index.cfm?townname=Accident&page=home）
The town of Accident is located near Deep Creek Lake in northern Garrett County, the westernmost county of Maryland. According to historians, the town can trace its name to about 1750 when King George II of England paid off a debt to George Deakins by giving him 600 acres of land in western Maryland. Mr. Deakins sent out two parties of engineers—each without knowledge of the other—to find and survey the best land in that section of Maryland. When the engineers returned, they discovered, much to their surprise, that they had each marked the same oak tree as a starting point and then marked off the same 600 acres. Mr. Deakins considered it safe to choose this land and had it patented as “The Accident Tract.” Hence, the unusual name of the town.
所以，我以为，这个屯的名字理解为“巧合”“机缘”可能更符合George Deakins的本意。
