Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I'm involved in a crash like this?
Call 911, stay in a safe location if possible, and wait for police and fire crews to arrive. Do not move a seriously injured person unless there is an immediate danger, such as fire.
Why do crashes with entrapment take longer to clear?
Crews have to stabilize the vehicles and usually cut away metal to free anyone trapped inside before they can be moved, which can keep roads closed for an extended period.
Will more details about this crash be released?
Police departments typically release additional findings, such as contributing factors or charges, only after they complete their investigation. Check back with the agency for updates.
