Frequently Asked Questions
Why is distracted driving so dangerous?
Taking your eyes off the road for even a few seconds at intersection speeds can mean missing a light change, a stopped vehicle, or a pedestrian, leaving little time to react.
How do weather and road conditions contribute to crashes?
Wet or poorly lit roads increase stopping distances and reduce visibility, which can turn a routine intersection crossing into a collision, especially during evening hours.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Portland, OR
If you're involved in a crash in Portland, call 911 right away and stay as still as possible if you're trapped or in pain until help arrives. Even minor-feeling injuries can worsen, so a hospital evaluation is worth getting the same day. Once you're safe, write down what you remember about the intersection, the signals, and the other vehicle while it's fresh, and make sure to keep any paperwork from police or paramedics in one place for later reference.
