What to Do After a Head-On Crash in Rogerson, ID
If you're involved in a head-on crash, call 911 right away and stay as still as possible until emergency crews arrive, even if you feel fine. Adrenaline can mask pain from internal injuries or whiplash that show up hours or days later, so a medical evaluation is worth getting regardless of how you feel at the scene. Keep a copy of the police report once it's available, and follow up with your own doctor for any lingering symptoms. If you were a passenger or witness, write down what you remember as soon as you can, since small details fade quickly after a serious crash.
