Explanation
If you're involved in a crash, stop immediately and move your vehicle to a safe location off the road, if possible. Never leave the scene-doing so could result in serious legal consequences, including hit - and-run charges. Check for injuries and call 911 if anyone is hurt. Only move your vehicle if it’s safe to do so and no one needs immediate medical attention. Exchange essential information with the other driver(s), including your driver’s license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. Avoid blocking traffic and stay out of active lanes when checking on others or assessing damage-safety should come first.
