One in every eight
drivers will be involved in a crash this year.
If you are involved
in a collision, follow these steps:
- As long as it is safe and
clear, you should move your vehicle out of the traveled
portion of the roadway. This is the law on many freeways
and divided highways. In some its against the law
to move vehicles after a collision. Knowing the ordinances
for your area is important.
- Turn your vehicles ignition
and lights off. Check that the other vehicles involved
do the same.
- Look at all the passengers
and drivers involver to see if anyone needs first
aid.
- If the accident is serious
or anyone is injured call emergency medical services.
