Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do right after a car accident? Move to a safe spot if possible, call 911, and exchange information with the other driver. Photograph the vehicles and the scene before traffic clears it, and seek medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor.
How do weather and road conditions affect crash risk? Wet pavement, glare, and reduced visibility can lengthen stopping distances and make lane changes riskier, especially on multi-lane highways with merging traffic like SR-99.
Where do most traffic crashes happen? Many collisions occur at or near intersections and highway interchanges, where vehicles merge, slow, or change lanes in close proximity to one another.
