Have you checked on these in a dictionary?

When do you use "major"? As an adjective > A major accident/A major road.

I repeat my question - have you looked them up in a dictionary? This is a good place to start: OneLook Dictionary Search

Big >> of considerable size, physical power, or extent

Major >> greater or more important; main
