accident

Dear teachers.
I wonder if three sentences have the same meaning.
If not, are there certain situations where one is better?

1, I almost was in an accident as I ran a red light.
2, I almost had an accident as I ran a red light.
3, I almost got into an accident as I ran a red light.

Have a good day!

All of them look about the same to me.
