Hi Zulfiya,

The simple answer is 'no'. If you start a sentence just with 'who', it becomes a question: 'Who caused the accident?' There are two possibilities if you don't know who the person is, you can say: 'The man/woman/person who caused the accident ...' or you can say: 'Whoever caused the accident ...'

Best wishes

Alan
