Accident Procedures

You come upon a crash that is not yours, and no one else has stopped. What is the professional response?

  • A.Stop in the travel lane beside the wreck
  • B.Stop in a safe place clear of the scene, turn on flashers, and call for help, assisting within your ability
  • C.Move wrecked vehicles off the road yourself first
  • D.Drive past slowly and continue your route
Correct answer

B. Stop in a safe place clear of the scene, turn on flashers, and call for help, assisting within your ability

Why

A truck stopped in the lane becomes a second crash waiting to happen, so position matters as much as willingness to help. A safe stop, a call with an accurate location, and basic aid until responders arrive is the help that counts.
