What Happens When Someone Is Unconscious After a Crash?
An unconscious person after a motor vehicle crash may have serious injuries that are not immediately visible. Head, neck, spinal, or internal injuries can occur even when there are few obvious external signs. Emergency medical evaluation is important when someone loses consciousness following a collision.
People at a crash scene should avoid moving an injured person unless there is an immediate danger, such as fire or another collision. Keeping the area clear can give emergency responders room to assess and treat injured occupants. Bystanders should also follow instructions from responding medical personnel and avoid creating additional hazards around damaged vehicles.
Drivers approaching a crash should slow down and watch for emergency vehicles, people in or near the roadway, and debris. Sudden lane changes or passing too closely to an incident can increase the risk of a secondary collision. Remaining alert and giving responders adequate space can help keep the area safer while the scene is being handled.
