Frequently Asked Questions
What injuries are most common in two-vehicle crashes?
Depending on speed and impact angle, people involved often suffer neck and back strain, head injuries, broken bones, or cuts from broken glass. Some injuries, like concussions, may not be obvious right away.
What usually causes crashes at intersections like this one?
Common factors include failure to yield, distracted driving, misjudging another vehicle's speed, or running a stop sign or light. Investigators typically review the scene, any available video, and driver statements before determining a cause.
Does speed make a difference in how severe a crash is?
Yes. Higher speeds mean more force at impact and less time for drivers to react or brake, which tends to result in more serious injuries and vehicle damage.
Why is distracted driving considered so risky?
Taking eyes or attention off the road for even a few seconds, to check a phone or adjust something in the vehicle, removes the small window a driver needs to spot danger and respond before a crash happens.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Harrison Township, Ohio
If you're involved in a crash, start by checking yourself and any passengers for injuries, then move to a safe spot if the vehicle is drivable. Call 911 so deputies and medics can respond and document the scene. Even if you feel fine, it's worth getting checked by a medical professional soon after, since some injuries don't show symptoms right away. Take photos of the vehicles, the roadway, and any visible damage if you're able to safely do so, and get contact information from the other driver and any witnesses. Keep a copy of the official crash report once it's available, and follow up with your doctor if pain or stiffness develops in the days afterward.
