I've heard of other people getting a careless driving citation after an accident. I guess the police officer felt that you did something wrong, which contributed to the accident.

It's not uncommon to receive traffic citations after the fact. Police interview witnesses, do an investigation, and depending on the severity, reconstruct the accident.

To answer your question, no, it isn't unheard of. Ask the investigating officer why you received the citation. If you were doing something careless, pay the fine and move on, if you don't think you did, go to court.
