If one of the twin dies from a car accident or struck by lightning or something like that

yes. being a twin or a triplet isn't something that is negated by the death of the other twin or the other triplets.
If you have just one sibling, but then that sibling dies, are you suddenly now 'an only child'? not really...
the experience of being a twin and losing the other twin probably varies greatly on the age of the loss - for instance if a twin loses his or her twin at an early age, they might not ever really know what having a twin brother or sister is like... while losing the twin in old age might be something they might expect, and have gotten used to being a twin.

They would still be a twin. Their twin would be deceased, but still a twin. I am married to a twin and have twins. Those of us who are not twins are singletons. We come from single births, they come from twin births and that is not changed when one dies.

Yes, they would always be considered a twin.
If it were at birth, parents might choose to not mention it to the growing child. Further on in life, definitely yes. Just because a brother or a sister of any kind remains your brother/sister.

Yes, it is just that the other twin is in a better place.

Yes, they would still be considered to be twins, but one would not be here.

Yes.
It's the same for my china. It's serving for eight. If I break a piece, it's still serving for eight, you just have to wash one dish so Aunt Suzy can have her ice cream.
