What Should Drivers Know About Two-Vehicle Crashes?
Two-vehicle accidents can result from a range of factors, including sudden medical problems, driver distraction, poor visibility, or roadway hazards. When a driver loses consciousness behind the wheel, the resulting crash can occur with little warning.
Information commonly documented after a serious roadway crash includes the position of each vehicle, visible damage, guardrail contact, and statements from people involved. Medical records may also help document physical complaints reported after a crash. Photos of the vehicles and the surrounding roadway can preserve details that may change after traffic resumes. Witness accounts can provide additional information about what happened immediately before the vehicles came together. These records can help create a clearer account of the circumstances surrounding a two-vehicle accident.
