What Should Drivers Know About Crashes With Entrapment?
Vehicle entrapment can happen when a collision causes severe damage that prevents an occupant from opening a door or leaving normally. Emergency crews may need specialized equipment to safely remove the person from the vehicle.
The severity of vehicle damage can depend on the direction and force of the impact, the size of the vehicles involved, and where the vehicles were struck. Multiple-vehicle accidents can also create additional hazards because damaged vehicles may block travel lanes or leave debris across the roadway.
Drivers approaching an accident scene should slow down and remain alert for stopped traffic and emergency activity. Allowing extra space and avoiding sudden lane changes can help reduce the risk of another collision near the original incident.
