How Emergency Response Crashes Can Lead to Injuries
Crashes involving emergency vehicles can happen quickly, especially near busy intersections. Drivers might be reacting to lights, sirens, turning traffic, or changing signals while an emergency response is underway.
Even when injuries are not life-threatening, a collision can still cause pain, shock, and vehicle damage. Front-end impacts may lead to head, neck, chest, shoulder, or back injuries for people inside the vehicles.
Intersections can become blocked after this type of crash. Crews may need space to check the injured, move damaged vehicles, and keep traffic away from the scene. This can cause delays until the roadway is safe again.
