I was a little surprised since my former team mate hit a another truck in a truck stop and nothing was ever said to him about.But that's another story.

The simple fact that you were stuck in the ditch, made it an accident....unless you were directed to drive into said ditch by your employer, the customer, or a law enforcement officer.
Even then...it can be classified an accident. (As the driver of the truck, you are supposed to have, and use, better first-hand knowledge of a situation than your employer, and especially a customer or law enforcement officer.)
