Which one is the correct one? Or are they both true? What is the difference between them?

“How the accident happened” (meaning: the way in which it happened) is a noun phrase or clause. You can’t turn it into a question just by adding a question mark.

How did the accident happen? is the normal construction for a question.

Реакции: sinukg и Evooo

How the accident happened can only be written if it comes after a verb, e.g. He wanted to know how the accident happened.
It can also be followed by is/was: How the accident happened is a mystery.

As a question, see what lingobingo wrote.

Who did Chris phone?
(Who) is object and (Chris) is subject in this sentence so we have to use do/does and did to make a levelheaded right question.

That’s right, but more generally we use forms of ‘do’ if a question word is put in front of the subject, but not if it simply replaces (or asks about) the subject:

The accident happened like this.
How did the accident happen?

(The questioned part is moved to the front, before the subject, so we get ‘do’/’did’ and inversion.)

The accident happened yesterday.
What happened yesterday?

(The questioned part is the subject, so there’s no movement, no ‘do’/’does’, and no inversion.)

With why and how questions :
When the verb is a form of be, the auxiliary have, or a modal auxiliary, we have inversion of subject and auxiliary.

Why is the cat so fat?
Why have you dirtied your clothes?
Why can’t you speak more clearly?

How is that word spelled?
How has she been spending her time?
How could you do that to her?

With other verbs we use the auxiliary do to form why/how questions, and again the subject follows the auxiliary.

Why did you go to the match yesterday?
How did you get to school yesterday?
Why did he do so badly on the test?
How do I write a good essay?
Why does he always shout at us?
How do you have your hair cut? (Have is not an auxiliary here).
