  • Stay on the scene and check the condition of the people involved.
  • If possible, move disabled vehicles to the side of the road. To avoid additional collisions, keep your emergency lights on. Wait for law enforcement in a secure location.

  • Seek immediate medical attention. Visit the nearest hospital or a primary care physician.
