What to Do After a Crash on Routes
Being involved in a crash
on a busy route can feel overwhelming, but knowing the right steps to take helps protect everyone’s safety. The priority is always to check yourself and others for injuries. If it is safe, move your vehicle to the side of the road to prevent further accidents, and turn on your hazard lights so approaching drivers know to slow down.
It is important to call 911 as soon as possible. Emergency responders can provide medical attention, direct traffic, and create a safe environment at the scene. While waiting for help, remain calm and avoid moving anyone who appears seriously hurt, unless they are in immediate danger.
Exchanging information with other drivers and documenting the accident are also important steps. Write down names, license plate numbers, and insurance details, and take photographs of the vehicles and the road conditions. These details can be helpful later for insurance claims and investigations.
Finally, once you leave the scene, consider seeing a doctor even if you feel fine. Some injuries may not appear right away, and getting medical attention ensures your health is protected.
