Vehicle accident notification device, system including the same, and method thereof

A vehicle and a method for controlling the vehicle include generating a warning message for passenger confirmation such that a driver of the vehicle confirms whether at least one passenger safely alights from the vehicle by recognizing the warning message. The method for controlling the vehicle includes: primarily confirming a presence or absence of a passenger having not yet exited the vehicle on a basis of opening/closing information of doors; generating a primary warning message for passenger confirmation on a basis of a result of the primary confirmation regarding the presence or absence of the passenger; secondarily confirming the presence or absence of the passenger having not yet exited the vehicle using a human detection sensor; and generating a secondary warning message for passenger confirmation on a basis of a result of the secondary confirmation.
