Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do after a car accident like this one?
Move to a safe spot if possible, call 911, and exchange information with the other driver. Even if injuries seem minor, it's worth getting checked by a medical professional, since some injuries don't show symptoms right away.
What are the most common injuries in car accidents?
Whiplash, cuts and bruises, and strains are common in lower-speed crashes. Freeway collisions can also cause more serious injuries, including fractures or head trauma, depending on speed and impact.
What usually causes crashes like this one?
Common factors include following too closely, sudden lane changes, distracted driving, and misjudging gaps in freeway traffic. Investigators have not released a cause for this crash.
Does speed make a difference in how bad a crash is?
Yes. Higher speeds mean less time to react and more force at impact, which generally means more serious injuries and vehicle damage.
What to Do After a Car Accident in East Los Angeles, CA
If you're involved in a crash on a busy freeway corridor like this one, try to stay calm and check yourself and any passengers for injuries before doing anything else. If your vehicle is drivable and it's safe to do so, move it out of traffic lanes to avoid a secondary collision. Call 911 right away so CHP and medical responders can reach the scene. Even if you feel fine, consider seeing a doctor in the days after the crash, since adrenaline can mask pain from soft-tissue injuries. Take photos if you're able, get the other driver's information, and file a report with CHP if one isn't already being completed at the scene.
