The accident was due to a motor vehicle collision
дорожно-транспортное происшествие is usually translated as a "traffic accident" or "road accident" but to avoid saying "accident" twice I have phrased it as a "motor vehicle collision", something you often hear on the news in Canada, especially in winter

Russian term (edited):
дорожно-транспортное происшествие
traffic incident / traffic collision / motor vehicle collision
1) The accident / injury / death (смотря что конкретно произошло) was a result of a traffic incident / traffic collision / motor vehicle collision.
Lots of choices, really, even if one has to avoid the word "accident".
2) But one can perhaps also rephrase the sentence and just say:
This was a motor vehicle accident (MVA) / traffic accident / road traffic injury.
using terms describing the nature of the sustained injury itself without referring to the road accident separately.
