Why did they get suspended? What does being in an accident have to do with school? How can you be suspended for something you do outside of school?

A bit late for a reply, but it comes down to how Japanese students are expected to behave inside/outside of school in their society. Even though they weren't at school they are expected to behave as though they are at all times. Schools in Japan are more responsible for their students' overall lives than those in the west because of the collectivist nature of their society. Their reckless behavior can reflect poorly on the school, which is a big part of why they are punished.

Its important to remember that Hiromi was essentially running away with her "boyfriend"'s help. On top of that, they were riding a moped in icy conditions, which was a terrible idea that led to an accident. Also, the severity of their punishment probably had a lot to do with the fact that they're both important members of the basketball clubs at their schools. Therefore, even more is expected of them.

In the west this could be viewed similarly to how high school sports players can be suspended from the team for getting into trouble outside of school. Except in Japan school taked on this role to a greater extent.
