Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do right after being in a car accident?
Check for injuries, move to a safe spot if possible, call 911, and exchange information with the other driver. Photograph the scene and vehicle damage if you're able, and seek medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor.
Where do most traffic crashes tend to happen?
Many serious crashes occur at intersections, on undivided rural roads, and in areas where vehicles merge or cross opposing traffic lanes, similar to the stretch of road involved here.
What injuries commonly result from head-on collisions?
Head-on crashes frequently cause chest and abdominal trauma, broken bones, head injuries, and spinal injuries, since both vehicles absorb combined impact forces in the collision.
