FAQ
Q: Why are some crash details not immediately released?
A: Emergency crews prioritize care and safety first. Details are confirmed and released later after initial reports are completed.
Q: Are downtown crashes more dangerous at night?
A: Reduced visibility, increased foot traffic, and tighter road layouts can increase the risk of nighttime collisions in city centers.

A: EMS may still assess them on-site and recommend follow-up care. Declining transport does not prevent later treatment or reporting the injury.
