Frequently Asked Questions
How do weather and road conditions affect crash risk?
Wet pavement, debris, glare, or heavy traffic can all reduce a driver's ability to stop in time or react to sudden slowdowns, which is a common factor in multi-vehicle pileups on highways.
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 other drivers. 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?
Crashes are common on busy highway corridors, especially near interchanges and exit ramps where vehicles merge, slow down, or change lanes quickly.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Oklahoma City, OK
If you're involved in a multi-vehicle crash, stay inside your vehicle if it's unsafe to get out, and turn on hazard lights to warn other drivers. Once you're somewhere safe, take photos of the scene and get contact information from anyone else involved. Even a minor crash can cause neck, back, or soft-tissue injuries that take a day or two to appear, so a prompt medical evaluation is worth the time. Keep a copy of the police report and any medical records in case you need them later for insurance purposes.
