Accidents are unpredictable except they do happen. Recently a minivan was driving too fast with a freak snow/rain/sleet event and slid into the path of 18 wheel truck and both people in the van were killed.

Injuries and deaths in accidents are unfortunate and the results of where vehicles end up after accidents can be unpredictable due to many variables such as traffic and road conditions. This being said in accidents the behavior of individual vehicles when they are involved in an accident tends to be predictable, as they are governed by the laws of physics, which is why we crash test vehicles and can use those results to improve vehicle safety.
Accidents themselves also tend to follow predictable patterns such as in the unfortunate accident you described which involved the known risky behavior of driving too fast for the slick road conditions.
