Frequently Asked Questions
Why does following distance matter so much in traffic?
Keeping extra space behind the vehicle ahead gives a driver more time to react if traffic suddenly slows or stops, which can prevent a chain-reaction crash.
Do secondary crashes usually happen after an initial wreck?
Yes. Once one crash blocks a lane or draws drivers' attention, following vehicles that don't adjust speed in time can strike the stopped traffic or emergency crews working the scene.
Why are multi-vehicle crashes usually harder to investigate than single-car wrecks?
Investigators have to sort out the order in which vehicles collided, how each one was moving, and how responsibility may be shared among several drivers, which takes more time than a simple two-car crash.
What to Do After a Multi-Vehicle Crash in North Codorus Township, PA
If you're involved in a multi-vehicle crash, try to move to a safe spot away from traffic if your vehicle is drivable and it's safe to do so. Call 911 even if injuries aren't obvious right away, since some symptoms take hours to appear. Exchange information with other drivers involved, and if police respond, get a copy of the report or the report number for your records. Getting checked by a medical provider afterward, even for minor soreness, is a good idea, since injuries from these crashes aren't always apparent immediately.
