How do weather and road conditions affect crash risk?
Wet pavement, poor visibility, and glare can all slow reaction times and extend stopping distances, making intersections like this one more hazardous even in routine traffic.
What should I do right after a car accident?
Move to a safe spot if possible, check for injuries, call 911, and exchange information with the other driver. Even if you feel fine, it's wise to get checked by a medical provider, since some injuries don't show symptoms right away.
Where do most traffic crashes happen?
A large share of collisions occur at intersections, where crossing and turning paths create more opportunities for drivers to misjudge timing or fail to yield.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Mechanicsville, Maryland
If you're involved in a collision in Mechanicsville, stay at the scene and call for help right away. Keep a safe distance from traffic while waiting for responders, and let paramedics evaluate anyone who may be hurt, even for minor complaints.

Once you're safe, follow up with your own doctor in the days afterward, since injuries from a crash can take time to fully surface.
