A: Routine EMS means medical personnel are still dispatched, but without lights or sirens, typically for non-life-threatening evaluations or minor injuries.
Q: Should I still cooperate if I feel uninjured after a crash?
A: Yes, even if you feel fine, it’s important to stay at the scene and allow responders to assess you, as some injuries may develop later.
