Frequently Asked Questions
Does speed make a crash worse? Yes. Higher speeds mean less time to react and more force in a collision, which tends to increase the severity of injuries and vehicle damage.
Why is distracted driving a particular risk on freeways? At highway speeds, even a few seconds of looking away from the road covers a long distance, cutting down the time a driver has to notice slowing traffic or a merging vehicle.
Can weather or road conditions play a role even on a clear day? Yes. Traffic volume, uneven merging, and sun glare near interchanges can all affect how much time drivers have to react, independent of rain or fog.
What should someone do right after a car accident? Move to a safe spot if possible, call 911, exchange information with the other driver, and get checked by a medical provider even if injuries seem minor at first.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Corona, CA
If you're involved in a crash on a freeway like SR-91, try to get your vehicle to the shoulder if it's safe to do so, turn on hazard lights, and stay clear of moving traffic while waiting for help. Call 911 and let dispatchers know if anyone needs medical attention. Even if you feel fine, it's worth getting checked out, since some injuries from a collision don't show symptoms right away. Take photos of the scene if you're able, and get contact and insurance information from everyone involved. Keep a copy of the CHP incident report for your records, and follow up with a doctor if any pain or stiffness develops in the days after.
