Is seeing an accident on one's way and turning back considered taking an omen as a bad sign?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person intends to travel, then sees an accident and turns back, is this taking an omen as a bad sign?

Answer:
Yes, this is pessimism. He should proceed and rely upon Allah, for nothing will befall him except what Allah has decreed for him.
