Can a gas line anti-freeze put in the pocket of a police officer be considered an accident?

In Buckley v. Entz, the court interprets the definition of accident such that only acts which have been undertaken with the intent of causing damage to another person fall within the exclusion. Thus, Buckley, who may have been deliberate in driving while impaired, was not shown to have intentionally driven into the police cruiser, and therefore continued to come within the ambit of the statutory definition of accident. From this analysis, the commissioners understand the court to be directing that in considering whether the appellant’s conduct of putting gas line anti-freeze in the respondent’s pocket comes within the definition of “accident”, the commissioners must determine whether the conduct was intended to cause the accident or the damage. Demonstrating that the pouring of gas line anti-freeze was a deliberate act of the appellant is not sufficient to remove him from the statutory definition of accident.
