After a car accident, your priority should be safety while you wait for emergency services and the tow truck. Follow these steps to protect yourself and others at the scene.
Check for Injuries
Check yourself and your passengers for injuries. If anyone is hurt, call 911 immediately. Do not move injured persons unless there is an immediate danger such as fire.
Move to a Safe Location
If the vehicle is drivable and it is safe to do so, move it to the shoulder or a nearby parking area. Turn on hazard lights to alert other drivers.
Exchange Information
Exchange insurance and contact information with the other driver. Take photos of the vehicles, damage, license plates, and the surrounding area. This documentation may be helpful for insurance purposes.
Call for Towing
Once the scene is safe, call Tow Pro at (703) 883-7221 for accident towing and vehicle recovery. Provide your location, the number of vehicles involved, and any visible damage so the appropriate equipment can be dispatched.
