Yes it is.
Accidents are accidents. You admit yourself that you have had them yourself. Unless she was intentionally doing something distracting like texting then it was an accident.
If you mis-step and trip while walking down the street it is an accident. If you mis-step and your foot slips off the brake pedal it is an accident.
If your hand mis-grips something and you drop it it is an accident. If your hand mis-grips and slips on the steering wheel it is an accident.
If you bump your head because you don't see something it is an accident. If you hit something with your car because you don't see it then it is an accident.
We don't know anything about what happened that caused her to hit this guy. There may have been a crying baby in the car. She might have gotten something on her eye. She may have sneezed. She might have spilled a drink on her lap. She may have been blinded by the lights of emergency vehicles.
Unless you have never had any sort of accident in your life you can't say that it is impossible for anyone to have an accident while driving a car. Accidents are accidents and they happen everywhere including behind the wheel of a car.
