A motor vehicle accident is a collision involving a motor vehicle that causes property damage, injury, or death. According to Alberta's Traffic Safety Act, a "motor vehicle" includes vehicles powered by anything other than muscle or a moped, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, semi-trailers, and buses. Bicycles, power bicycles, aircraft, farm equipment, and rail vehicles are not classified as motor vehicles.
