After a collision, people come first. If anyone is injured or the scene remains dangerous, contact emergency services. This article is not legal advice and does not replace police or insurer instructions.
Immediate Safety Priorities
Check for injuries, move to a safer location only when it is safe and lawful to do so, and turn on hazard lights. Avoid standing between vehicles in active traffic.
Documentation Basics
Exchange required information and photograph vehicle positions and damage when it is safe. Follow local reporting rules for your situation.
When Recovery Towing Is Needed
If the vehicle cannot be driven safely, request accident recovery or emergency flatbed towing. Share damage notes, whether the vehicle rolls and the preferred collision centre or repair destination.
