Explanation
Avoid driving near collisions whenever possible-keeping the area clear helps emergency responders reach injured people faster and reduces the risk of additional crashes. If you’re involved in a crash and no one is injured, move your vehicle to the side of the road to avoid blocking traffic. If anyone is injured or killed, you must report the collision to law enforcement within 24 hours. If you hit or injure an animal, do not attempt to move it. Instead, call the nearest humane society or law enforcement agency.
