What Typically Follows a Two-Vehicle Crash on a Residential Street in New Jersey?
After a two-vehicle crash on a local street, emergency units typically assess the scene for injuries before addressing any hazards left by damaged vehicles. In New Jersey, when a vehicle is too damaged to be driven, it is usually towed away to clear the road and prevent further risk to passing traffic. The process of securing the scene can take anywhere from a few minutes to over an hour depending on the extent of the damage.
When one person is taken to a hospital, medical staff work to evaluate the full extent of harm, which is not always obvious at the scene. Injuries from vehicle crashes can sometimes worsen in the hours following the incident, making hospital evaluation an important step. New Jersey sees thousands of two-vehicle crashes each year, with local and residential streets accounting for a notable share of those incidents.
