what's the difference between incident and accident

[Mister Micawber]

.
Incident-- a single distinct event

Accident-- anything that happens by chance without an apparent cause; also, a mishap, especially one causing injury or death.

Some incidents are accidental, others are purposeful. On the other hand, almost all accidents are incidents.
