 When asked to name songs about motor-vehicle accidents, anybody can name “The Leader of the Pack,” or the Beatles’ “Don’t Pass Me By” or “Revolution 9.”  I’ve picked a few familiar tunes, and a lot of less-popular ones, including about those scar-crashed lovers Laura and Tommy, and a pair by the Cheers.  Buckle up now, and remember that cross traffic does not stop.
