What Should Drivers Do After a Highway Crash?
Drivers involved in a highway crash should first focus on personal safety and avoid additional traffic hazards. When possible, move vehicles to a safe shoulder or another protected position without creating further danger.
Hazard lights can alert approaching motorists to a stopped vehicle. Drivers should remain aware of passing traffic, particularly on busy freeways where vehicles travel at high speeds.
If someone reports pain or other injury symptoms, a medical evaluation can help determine the appropriate care. People should avoid unnecessary movement after a serious collision, especially when there may be a head, neck, or back injury.
Drivers should also exchange required information and document the roadway and vehicle damage when it is safe to do so. Staying calm and keeping clear of active lanes can reduce the risk of a secondary collision.
