What to Do After a Car Accident in Whitehall Township, PA
If you're involved in a crash in Whitehall Township, try to move to a safe spot if possible and check yourself and others for injuries before doing anything else. Call 911 even for what seems like a minor collision, since some injuries don't show symptoms right away.
