When you read these words, does it imply to you that there WAS an accident? When I read, "nearly avoided an accident," I take it to mean that we tried to avoid an accident and failed. I'm wondering how others read it. I assume that the writer probably meant that they had a near collision.
"Blank told investigators that they nearly avoided an accident with a silver colored vehicle with dark tinted windows."

"A miss is as good as a mile."
Yes, nearly avoiding means they did NOT avoid the accident, but almost avoided one.

Thank you! A news station is reporting about a road rage incident and they keep writing, "nearly avoided an accident." It left me wondering if the two vehicles actually made contact or not.
The following was directed at me on another sub-forum here on City-Data. It was easy for me to recognize it as an insult, but I'll be darned if I could make heads or tails of what the poster actually meant:

Well, I know who Vizio is, and I know what forum this came from, so I'm guessing it's someone speaking in tongues!
Hey - I LOVE fried bologna (baloney, boloney, mortadella) sandwiches, no matter the spelling. In fact, I think "Blony Sanwhiches" guarantees a wonderful dining experience (at least for me).
I saw a sign once that said, "Please do not flush feminine products down the toliet." I wondered if Juliet had been flushing her feminine products down the toliet inappropriately.
