Frequently Asked Questions
Why do chain-reaction crashes happen?
They usually start when one driver brakes suddenly or stops and the vehicles behind do not have enough space or time to react, causing a series of impacts down the line.
How can drivers avoid being caught in a pile-up?
Keeping a safe following distance, watching traffic several cars ahead, and slowing down early when brake lights appear can give drivers more time to react.
What should I do if I'm stopped near a crash on the highway?
Turn on hazard lights, stay in the vehicle if it's safe to do so, and move as far onto the shoulder as possible to avoid being struck by oncoming traffic.
What to Do After a Multi-Vehicle Crash in Queenstown, MD
If you're involved in a multi-vehicle crash, check yourself and any passengers for injuries before stepping out, and move to a safe spot away from traffic if possible. Call 911 even if injuries seem minor, since some symptoms take hours to appear. Exchange information with other drivers, take photos of the scene and vehicle positions if you're able, and ask for a copy of the police report once it's filed. A follow-up visit with a doctor is a good idea even after a seemingly minor collision, since adrenaline can mask pain in the first day or two.
