Common Traffic Accidents In Placer County
Rear-end collisions are the most frequent kind of traffic accident in cities and towns. A rear-end collision occurs when a driver fails to stop in time to avoid hitting the back of another car. Intersections also have a high risk of accidents. The following types of accidents can occur at intersections:
- T-bone collisions
- Making left turns in front of motorcycles
- Striking a pedestrian while making a right turn
- Failure to yield to oncoming traffic, including bicyclists
Since cars travel faster on highways than on city streets, highway accidents are usually more severe. Big rigs are the most likely to cause damage when two vehicles collide. Examples of typical highway accidents:
- Head-on collisions
- Sideswipe accidents
- Lane change collisions
- Crashes caused by merging vehicles
- Accidents caused by cargo falling from a truck
Pedestrian accidents often occur in parking lots and on urban streets. The drivers are generally responsible for monitoring the road and preventing collisions, even when pedestrians are not in a crosswalk.
Bicycle accidents can occur in both urban and rural areas. Drivers who do not share the road with cyclists still cause sideswipe collisions even when in a bike lane.

A Guide To Handling Car Accidents
Although it can be a terrifying experience to be involved in a traffic accident, there are things you should do to prioritize your safety. These steps can be helpful in navigating the immediate aftermath of an accident.
What Should You Do At The Scene Of The Accident?
- The vehicles involved should be moved to the side of the road if it is safe and possible.
- Find out if you or any of your passengers have been injured. Your adrenaline may conceal any injuries you have sustained, so do not rush this assessment.
- Call 911 regardless of whether anyone is injured. The California Highway Patrol and police must be informed within 24 hours of any car accident resulting in injury or death.
- Get the other driver’s contact and insurance information and their license numbers.
- Photos and videos should be taken to document vehicle damage, weather conditions, road conditions, and proximity to other roads.
- Obtain contact information from witnesses if any were present.
Steps To Take After The Accident
- Medical professionals should be consulted even if you do not believe you were injured. Some injuries can take days or weeks to manifest symptoms.
- Send your insurance company the contact information you gathered at the scene and inform them about the accident.
- Make sure you have a copy of the California accident report.
- If the insurance company for the other driver contacts you, avoid saying anything that may be used to devalue your claim.
- Document all medical appointments or vehicle repairs needed following the accident.
