What Should Drivers and Passengers Do Immediately After a Multi-Injury Crash?
In the moments following a crash where multiple people are hurt, the actions taken before emergency units arrive can affect outcomes for everyone involved. Anyone who can do so safely should call for help immediately, providing the exact address or nearest landmark to give responders the most direct route to the scene. Staying on the line with a dispatcher can also help relay information about the number of people hurt and the nature of their injuries.
Moving seriously injured people after a crash is generally discouraged unless there is an immediate danger, such as fire or rising water, that makes staying in place more dangerous than moving. Unnecessary movement can worsen injuries to the spine or neck that may not be immediately visible. Keeping an injured person still and calm while waiting for emergency units is usually the safest course of action.
Once help arrives, emergency personnel triage patients based on the severity of their injuries, prioritizing those most in need of immediate medical attention. In crashes with multiple people hurt, more than one ambulance may be needed to transport everyone to appropriate care facilities. Bystanders can assist by keeping the area clear, directing traffic away from the scene, and making sure responders have unobstructed access to those who need help.
