While no specific verse is titled 'accident dua,' the Prophet ﷺ taught us comprehensive words to seek safety from sudden events like crashes, falls, or fire.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَدْمِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ التَّرَدِّي، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْغَرَقِ وَالْحَرَقِ
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-hadmi, wa a'udhu bika minat-tarad-di, wa a'udhu bika minal-gharaqi wal-haraq.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from being crushed (by a building), from falling (from a high place), from drowning, and from burning.
